Creative energy is a renewable resource; you can use it on any number of projects in many different art forms, including ones you've never even tried before.

"but I don't know anything about--" Who cares??

Amateur work is more than okay. You don't have to show anyone, and you don't have to learn any of the complex theories if your goal isn't to get really good at whatever you're doing.

(and who knows, maybe you'll fall in love with the new form!)

Also, sometimes you just need to get an insistent idea onto something other than your brain matter so other ideas can keep flowing. Our minds can be like clogged drains that way.

It's this moment. This one right here is how you know they love each other. See, Chidi teaches Elanor in every timeline... But here we see Elanor reaching out. She doesn't have a lot to offer Chidi, but she's TRYING. She's TRYING to teach him something that he doesn't know, and SHE IS IMITATING HIM not because it's a joke, but because she's using him as a model for love. This kind of imitation is a CLASSIC way for someone like Elanor to dip a toe into the pool of emotional vulnerability, into reciprocating effort and feelings.
