Geez I hate this...I have a bunch of days off, containers full of brick, and
no ideas.  I have watched every sci-fi DVD I own and browsed for hours
through Brickshelf and Lugnet for inspiration...I'm without revelation!  How
does everybody else deal with these blank episodes?  Share your remedies,
I'm curious.  Any requests?  What does the galaxy need?  =o/

Used up most of my money on buying a house and providing for a baby. My head is full of ideas, but the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

No one else seems to have suggested this, but it always works for me: Start with a *limited* amount of pieces. I always find that necessity breeds invention, though others may disagree. With me, I have my pieces mostly sorted, but there is a large (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

  Re: BUILDER'S BLOCK - AHHH...HHH!
 
I'd suggest trying to build in a different theme for a bit. Rather than make a new space ship, try making a garbage truck or a medieval castle or a technic crane or a mecha or something. That will help clear out your space-mind. Also, you might find (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
