I've come to a conclusion today that I have a void in my life, I have no outlet for creativity.
It's not that I'm not creative, more that I'm not traditionally creative. I don't write, draw, paint, sculpt, or anything like that. The closest I ever got was mapping for Quake. My creativity is based in problem solving. I can't figure out how to apply that to a hobby of some sort.
What do you guys do?
You sound like my dad! He was a child of the depression and grew up making stuff for him and his sibs to play with. After he returned from WW2 (Ardennes, Normandy- yes I'm proud of my father) he built his first home and as I grew up, was always fixing and making things. More of an "artificer" I suppose. We have more furniture made from other people's stuff - it aint all pretty, but it works and my father made it!
I basically feel the same way, but I have nothing to do. I can't start because I don't have a muse. My creativity comes out of a need and if I have no need then I have nothing to do. I'm more a fixer than a maker, though. Like a MacGyver, making shit work with a limited amount of resources.
