One anwser to re-find creativity: Go outdoors. And try to remake what you see.

Put nature into it.

Hey guys
thanks for all your responses. I think im getting sick with a head cold also. Crappy! and I didnt say anything but I saw a psychologist for the first time in my life. Im not crazy no no. But she did say that Ive most likely been depressed since I was 8. Im 23 and thats how many years? 15 years? Yeah. Even though it never felt like it But I can say that its been on and off. But when I walked outta that office I had the biggest smile on my face ever. And I know I meant it. I smile sometimes and its a fake smile. But I know this smile made me feel proud. And Im getting excited to see her again. She asked me what I wanted to do with my life and no one has asked me this before seriously and I was about to say I dont know and im sitting there thinking and it just rolled out of my mouth.. I want to own my own web design firm.. and I blinked my eyes and Im like wow.. Ever since then I feel like I can I dont know make myself complete. I always thought I had problems with my head and I know im not crazy.

But anyways, the clients site I was doing she came over yesterday, shes also a good friend of mine, I deisgned two layouts and she wanted to see it in a different color and then shes like you know yahoo has templates.. and im like oh I didnt look through your hosting stuff because you said not to touch anything.. so she chooses this template, a doctors template and says I want that one.. So I had to erase the doctor stuff and now I have to find dentist clip art and orthodontic clip art which for some reason yahoo web services dosent provide. Since Im sick now well not sick, I think I have a head cold, my head feels like its not connected to my neck like a floating balloon. Im going to have to wait to research I was order to get my butt into bed by my husband lol. To me honestly its plain but until I can get the right clip art or pictures up Im sure it will look better but the site is Normandy Park Orthodontic Laboratory - Making orthodontic appliances to fit your patients needs!! now shes like stop treating me like a client and im like ok.. lol but then i said ok business wise, i dont like using other peoples template like on a hosting site because someone else might be using it and shes like i dont care but that dosent make me comfortable having my clients using a template that someone elses site might be using and im like but your my cleint and its what my client wants not what i want thats what i get paid for. But As I was looking through these templates ideas popped into my head. I would look at other peoples layouts and template but that wouldnt ever happen but anyways this is getting long.. lol. My kid has snickers in his hand and i want some and im going to lay down with my family. I hope no one thinks im nutso. I also updated my site to a business type instead of personal. layout is the same though.. EcntrcBeauty.Org - A place where design meets your mind. anyways i gotta go! i was told to hurry up!! thanks again guys. i really appreciate all the words!!! this is why i love this place!!! and im here to stay!!!! thanks again!!

Good point Turvas, you would be surprised how much going out will inspire you! A recent private project was started when looking out of a bus window... not exactly looking out, but looking at.
With all the condensation and colder weather, windows can be very interesting, esspecially with a nice looking cold person in the way? o.O

Various "bloom" over-bright effects, grunge brushes and of course the great outdoors passing by in a photo I was able to recreate the window in photoshop and get back onto my creating track after a major creative drought.

So yeah, go out, look around you and think "What if...". Music, games, TV are also good references too, like for my battle entry... too much anime o.O lol.

How about posting a copy in the Gallery? The product of your inspiration may help to inspire others.
