 The only way to build something is with some thing. There is no out of thin air. Every object, every idea, everything is made from something else, a cosmic collaboration of atoms and energy that are shared but never lost. Even the biblical stories of creation, the one that's often claimed to be ex nihilo, depicts a creation from something rather than nothing. It's a creation ex materia, or perhaps creation ex dio, but most certainly not creation ex nihilo. So stop staring at the blank page, waiting for your masterpiece to magically appear. Read a book, watch a movie, take a walk, play a game, listen to a podcast, for it's from something else that you will always make something next.
