As a rule I only really create "art" when I have a random bout of inspiration. I find it very difficult to sit down and create something without prompt, and as such garbage like raver-elf-chicks get born.How does one get inspired to do something meaningful? How does one pluck their ethereal muse from the air, attach her to one's wrist with an iron manacle, and keep the inspiration flowing day after day?
Perhaps the answer is doing great feats. Perhaps it is meditation and self-reflection. Perhaps it is hard drugs.
At any rate, it would seem that less video games and more sleep would be a step in the right direction. My mind has been flighty at best lately, and I often find myself having problems concentrating and formulating rational and worthwhile comments. I need a shot of Ginko straight to the brain. Or perhaps just a long winter's nap. Yes, in fact, that sounds lovely.

Never forget that sleep is the enemy.
Less sleep, more drinking, and senseless bouts of womanization. I find these to be the ingredients to a bountiful wellspring of creativity.
Create an environment. Put on music, lock the door, turn off most of the lights, and stop thinking too hard. Sometimes an outfit helps too. Seriously.
I think the key is doing it every day whether you're inspired or not. Practice makes easier.
All great suggestions!
Perhaps every day for a week I will lock myself in a room with lots of alcohol and elaborate costumes, put on music and go sleepless.
It would seem that SOMETHING creative would happen, at the very least!
