I start by accepting the fact that being derivative is really not a bad thing.

If I want to create things but have no inspiration, I often look up project ideas on the internet that line up with my interests. Once I get started working on something, my brain naturally branches off into new, original ideas to pursue. Naturally these ideas are more interesting to me since I brainstormed them myself.

I do this everytime I want to create things but have no idea where to start.
