Quote:...I call my 'broken brain'.If it helps, I've been feeling broken sometimes too. I have these huge difficult projects to do, but I can only be creative when I'm not in front of a computer. I used to program for fun sometimes, but I don't find joy in it anymore. I've moved into robotics and painting for fun.
So, I find I need to take a notebook and stare out the window and jot stuff down, then I have to go back to the computer to compose from my notes. My brain seems to be in hyper creative mode when I'm in the shower, driving, or anytime I'm not needing to concentrate on something else (which tells you how dull my commute is) -- although, I remember I have had some profound ideas and thoughts then, but as soon as I sit down to type them up they drift away. I had a particularly good idea while driving today, I had to pull over and text it to my partners so I wouldn't lose it. I think I need one of those idea tape recorders, but that seems so strange to me.
