Oasis of a stagnant mind

Ever been at that point where you just sit there, looking at the screen, a strong urge to create something, something good, but all that comes to mind is pure mediocrity and all that does is frustrate you to the point where you cannot start any project.

Sigh.

WTB ideas that do not suck.

I find my creativity is hindered by my inablility to make it fast enough.
Especially when it comes to coding.

dont knwo about you, but i 1st visualize the idea in my mind, then write it down, and develope it some more, and when i had a clear view of how to doit, then i start the coding... works better that way, for me.

Stop trying. I find that when I'm actively trying to come up with an idea I tend to try too hard and end up with mildly interesting stuff that's been done a thousand times before. So I just stop actively trying and just let the ideas come to me.

Honestly, most of my ideas come to me either while in the shower or sitting on the toilet.
