I haven't felt creative in a solid year

Is this what happens when you hit early 20s? WTF, I'm a fucking artist, and nothing is coming out right, nothing sounds good, nothing sticks.

What do you do when this happens?

Art block is a myth. You're just being lazy.

I can relate. When I can't write, I listen to mah iPod, and listen to my "artistic" playlist. That seems to fix everything.

I either go kill some people in a various number of games... or I watch some movie I really like, listen to the credits music, then I'm usually ready to work. At least when I'm trying to write...

I've found just listening to the track I'm using over and over again helps to get me in the mood to edit.

I feel sorta the same way. I can't come up with good ideas, and I can't properly execute the ones that I do come up with. It seems like my best editing days are behind me.
Then every little while, I go do an iron chef, and I actually turn out something pretty respectable. Then I go back to not being able to do anything.

Film yourself.

You'll either make money, or lose money. Although I don't know seeing all those photo's on the Self-photo's thread.

i think its very common for early 20s i know i went through a phase like that.... pretty much you can do what you normally do and/or wait it out or find another creative outlet.

When you're close to 40 like me, you appreciate any little independent and creative thought you can muster.

I remember when I was a kid...........
