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!

It *is* writer's block.  About the only cure that works for me is to leave it
completely for a week, avoid even looking at it, then dive back in.  Somehow,
my brain tends to produce more when in denial...

So, what would you suggest this stage be called.  Maybe the Plagiarist Ages?
Or Bricker's Block?

I'm in my own personal "Gray Ages", myself...  :-,
