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?

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.

Lay out all of your creative tools into a neatly organized pile.

If you consume alcohol or any other substance, do so. Then look at your pile of creative potential.

Look at it real hard.

Then randomly pickup a tool and fucking use it.

That is how art is born.
