Are you sure you want to be an artist? Is composing or creating sounds such a drag that you just don't want to do it? Wanting to BE an artist and putting in the work to BECOME an artist are two very different things.
If you actually want to produce art then you have to DO IT. A little something everyday even if it's crap. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Finding someone to work with on an ongoing project helps. Then you can bug each other to stop whining and just work.

Music is not supposed to be a chore. Get pumped. Get inspired. Have fun!
