Creativity - Missing or Misdirected? You decide! ...?

I've been away from the blog a lot lately, with two of the last three months being completely lacking posts. Though there were 3 in quick succession in June, they were rather unrefined and chaotic. I recent have tried writing and just not found much inspiration poetically. I find it a little odd and mostly just kinda sad that at the happiest times of my life I tend to be the least creative. It's only when sadness or frustration or fear crush the poetry out of me that I seem to write halfway decently. I think that's mostly because I'm happiest when I'm busy and don't have time to sit and write. At the same time, there's the retrospective impression that I need to record these happy moments of my life.

One thing I've been considering is the possibility that different media are my most comfortable depending on my mood. In part because of a lot of really vivid, semi-linear story-lined dreams lately, I've been considering attempting fiction again. Whether short or long, I don't really know. I'll try to post something soon, if it goes up on here it'll likely be shorter (but who knows, I ramble at times...).

I also would really like to learn to play a musical instrument such that I could attempt writing a song or two... it just seems like a fun and challenging endeavor which I have absolutely no concept of how to do. So yeah, if anyone out there has an instrument that they are proficient enough in to teach me and would like to do so, I'd love to take some lessons.

Also, I have just been thinking that it would be fun to collaborate with someone on writing a story. Via e-mail or face to face, either way would work for me. Deciding on genre and direction would be difficult perhaps, but the whole process would be cool regardless. I think I'm just creatively bored lately.
