I don't have a word for that feeling. All I know is that when I keep a sketchbook that doesn't have to be perfectly cohesive things roll out better. That would be my advice for creative people. Keep a private journal or sketchbook that has random bits of stuff, ideas, words, sketches, drawings. If it gets too precious it will not work. Also, have it handy so you can add things to it when you are waiting. Pull it out instead of your phone. If you use your phone too much you are getting to much input. You need output as a creative person, even if it turns out lousy sometimes. Often we think everything has to be perfectly rendered but maybe that's because we are fed so much high quality works online.
