  I would expand that advice to all artistic pursuits.

    For artists and maybe hackers, I have some friends who found inspiration through this book (it's not easy to do some of the exercises, very internal) Book recommendation: The Artist's Way "The Artist's Way is a workbook for anyone who is creative, feels blocked in their creativity or wishes that they were more creative. The book begins with the statement that everyone is creative and has an artist within them, and the point of this course is to recover that inner artist. It is divided into a twelve-week course, with assignments much like any semester-long college class." http://www.theartistsway.com/ http://www.theartistsway.com/ http://paperartstudio.tripod.com/artistsway/ http://paperartstudio.tripod.com/artistsway/

      Also, "Creating" by robert fritz is not bad. But beware, reading books about creatity may become a form of procrastination.
