Writing Update

I'm totally stuck with writing. I have 6 chapters of a book, but I don't know where to go from here and I'm sort of tired with the story. I started it as a way to work through some dude-related issues that have now disappeared. So when I read through it or think about writing more, I just don't have the energy to retell some my stories. I'm not sure what to do because I like what I have so far. Maybe I should bench it for awhile and start on a new project? My other one is more Polish Mafia-related, about my step-grandpa, but am I ready for that? Maybe I shouldn't be writing semi-autobiographical crap. I asked Jacob on Saturday how he comes up with his ideas, and also asked some other writers/artists/etc where they get their ideas. It seems they just appear in heads. I don't get ideas. Does that mean I shouldn't be attempting this? I can't seem to concoct anything unless its marginally related to me. I feel really drained just trying to think of anything to say. Shouldn't writers or artists feel invigorated as they do their craft? Aren't they supposed to have this unending NEED to get this stuff out of their system? Why don't I feel so compelled to create? Instead I feel exhausted, and I end up staring at the ceiling and listening to music until I fall asleep for a few hours.

It's hard to be surrounded by creative amazing people all day, and not be one of those types.
