usually when i'm all lost for creativity and have no motivation, i just cruise for samples like drums, FX, etc. until i find a certain fx or something where i think "this would go so good with something!". i just start out with a simple beat, nothing really done to it except mastering, make my melody pads, etc. until i find something in it. i went 4 months then i couldn't stand it no longer, you really just need to keep pushing, lol
