I am in such a writing funk. I feel the need to break out of this rut or routine. It's as if my creativity has been sitting in the sun too long. It's beginning to fade and peel. I need to add some pizzazz to my vocabulary and add some variety to my sentence structures. I need to use a different set of writing muscles. It's like physical activity, everyone knows that the same muscles used repetitively have a tendency to tighten up, increasing the chance of injury. I need to do some stretching exercises before I strain something. Is there such a thing as cross-training for writing?

Sure. Try different kinds of writing. Say... poetry about floating turds. :)
Heh, thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try and it seemed to loosen things up. :D
Glad to be of service!
I had actually read in a "Writer's Digest" or something that writers often find it helpful to switch genres from time to time, albeit they were mostly talking about non-fiction to fiction and vice versa.
Wasn't sure if poetry would work (especially silly poetry), but it's always worth a try.
