Hi Ericsnapple,
Funny you mention this. I have that on a regular basis.
http://forums.polyloop.net/images/smilies/ermm.gif I am a person who works best with an assignment, but what to do when I don't have one and still want to create something. I decided to try to get inspiration from books I read, so now I am working on a short story from a national famous writer here in the Netherlands called Toon Tellegen. The story is only 1,5 page long but is in fact so complicated that I can fill lots of evenings with it.

Maybe you can do something with this idea.
Here's a picture. (I hope)
