Writer's Block

I keep meaning to get started on a new short story but I find that I'm completely uninspired. I'm rifling through my head desperately trying to grasp on to any creative thought or storyline and it's just not materializing. My mind is just bone dry. I don't know if it's a symptom of being complacent and content, or if I'm really getting to be more and more boring. Maybe my mind is just preoccupied with other things too. I'll probably hang on to the laptop until I fall asleep and see if anything develops.
