Creativity is a weird resource. You don't consume it, you refill it by using it. The more creative things you do, the more creative you become. I see this a lot in writing. When I'm on the wagon and writing every day, the ideas keep coming and flowing and I start thinking "Maybe I should publish twice a day? There's no way I can limit myself to just once" But then I fall off the wagon and I publish/write once a week. It becomes a struggle. Ideas don't flow. It feels like I have nothing to say. The less writing I do, the fewer things feel interesting enough to write about. Ideas get discarded. Try it. Do something creative every day. Even just something small. Write down an idea or a joke or a thought. Or write a 10 line piece of code that does something silly. Soon enough you won't be able to contain yourself and creativity will come bursting out of you. You might not write the next Harry Potter or come up with the next Homebrew, but you're going to create something cool I bet.
