Mindwipe Or I love looking at a blank screen

Uggghh.... I hate when I get like this every so often, I'll just sit and stare at a blank screen since I can't come up with anything to design.   Realized the last real thing I did was almost two months ago now as I shifted gears to work on some other things at the time.  Now for the first time in those two months I can't even come up with a simple image to start from which usually will take me many many layers into a completed one at some point.  

My problem is I don't approach it from a illustration or painting viewpoint, I'll just start on something and when I see that right point I'll work it from there.  I do treat it like painting though, I never do the same process or design type twice since quite frankly I don't know how I end up with the last designed image anyways.  I can look back at the last image I did two months ago and go ok how did I do this?  I'll see something at somepoint and go done and walk away from it.  

I could always go back to some previously started images that at the time I couldn't come up with anything to see if I can see anything now.  Figures this hits on a late saturday early sunday night after I already had been to a Borders earlier today.  If it hit sooner I could have thumbed through some art or design books/magazines instead of just going to pick up a language book to try and learn one.  

Oh well..
