I've been thinking about my creative drive a lot lately. I've finallt found a god analogy for it (in cae you don't know, I looooove good analogies). It is kind of like a pilot light in a gas stove or oven. The little flame is always there, but unless the rest of the gas is turned on, you can't cook anything. My urge to be creative is always on, but the gas isn't flowing. Whenever I've been in art classes, it has been on, and when I was in art school fulltime, it was turned up high. Now I'm back to just that little pilot light, waiting. I wonder what I need to do to get the gas going again.

(Kinda gives me a new appreciation for the phrase, "Now you're cooking with gas!")
