Heh. I suspect this is something everyone runs across from time to time. A
couple of the things I'll do when the creative juices aren't flowing might
help....
1: Have a pile of unsorted Lego. I find that a couple ice cream buckets is a
good size - bigger than that can get intimidating if I'm feeling uncreative.
I'll just dig around in there and start building. Usually it helps for me to
start with an idea (a building, a space ship, whatever).
2: Open a tub with some of my sorted bricks and see how many different ways I
can connect a single type/color of brick. I find this to be a really neat way
to inspire me.
