Need inspiration

    So, I want to start writing something again. Problem is, I'm not sure what. I've got any number of projects started, but I can't bring myself to try and finish them. Likewise, trying to think up new ideas is getting me nowhere at the moment. Usually I have too many ideas floating around, but for some reason lately I don't seem to have any at all. I need some inspiration, or something. Anybody got anything they want to throw my way? A writing prompt could be good, but I'll take anything that might get the mental wheels turning.

    One thing I've been doing lately when trying to come up with game ideas I've been making lists of song titles and then using those song titles as the base for the game. I did this for all but one of my Stargate games and plan on doing it for the Serenity game.

    Not sure if it'll work for whatever you're planning but I know it got the wheels turning for me.

    or if you want, I could post the short little snipet I wrote one night and was in no way sure what I was going to do with it...

    “Ugh,” complained Filna. “Why me? All I do is work and when I do finally get some time off, I always end up working anyway. Sitting in front of computers all the time is boring. What I really need to do is get into either some field work, or take up some hobbies.”

    “Then why don’t you instead of just sitting there and complaining?” asked Rich from the next cubicle over. “If you did, you would save the rest of us from having to listen to your complaining.”

    “Well I would if you lot wouldn’t call me with your problems all the damn time. How many times do I have to show you how to input the data correctly?”

    “You know, you do all the calling, and those problems are just excuses for you to come in. We can do our jobs just fine. Why don’t you actually let us do them?” Rich asked rather plaintively.

    “Fine, if that is the way you feel about it, I will leave right now and try to do something other than worry about how you’re going to screw up.”

    “Thank you, now we might get something done with out you looming over us, convinced we might make a mistake. You know that is how the problems occur. We get nervous with you standing over us all the time.”
