I've been mostly lurking in LUGNet since its inception and came to know the
term "Dark Ages" as it is commonly used here. Well, I'm not in a Dark Ages,
but I'm in some kind of funk, LEGO-wise. I can't seem to sit down and build
anything original. Most of my time with LEGO is either virtual (L-Draw,
etc.) or in attempting to build someone else's L-Draw creation. I spend
inordinate amounts of time organizing my bricks so when that really cool post
comes along I can find all the bricks I need to build it. I'm starting to get
bummed -- almost like writer's block!
So, what would you suggest this stage be called. Maybe the Plagiarist Ages?
Or Bricker's Block?
