I consider my professional self a software developer and creative writer - except the latter is something I have struggled to do consistently for the last couple of years.
After spending all of today at home (with a nasty fever, natch), I devoted some time tonight to do some creative writing. Ninety minutes of my night cannot be wrong: I just stared at my computer, tripped over rambling ideas, and accomplished nothing. My writing career has been like this for the past two years. I feel as if I lost my spark for creative writing, and thus a significant part of me is dying because of it.
If I had to identify the cause of this problem, I would hazard a guess that a lack of inspiration is shooting me in the foot. I have discussed this problem before on Critically Correct, and the same basic issues still plague me: aside from a few older ideas dreamed up ten years ago, I have had no ideas that have inspired me to crank out any meaningful fiction.
How on earth will I turn this around?
B3 out.

Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant. There is a fuel in us which needs to be ingnited with sparks. Johann Gottfried Von Herder
