Yes
Not any more, but I used to be
No
Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages… a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn’t be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of Pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.
Umberto Eco, On Ugliness

Boredom is so important for creativity. We spend our lives constantly inundated with entertainment. Phones in our pockets with games and apps that function like tiny computers. TVs in every waiting room, restaurant, and living room. Music on every radio, computer, and phone. It's everywhere. And we've been trained to think that boredom is bad so we are constantly seeking more and more stimulation.
But boredom is actually necessary for creativity. Our brains need that rest in order to get really primed to create some great shit. It's why we think of the best lines of dialogue in the shower, the best scenes right before we fall asleep. You have to stop feeding your mind constant stimuli if you want to be able to create art of any kind.
And sure, other media is great for inspiration. Everything has its place and time. But if you're sitting there trying to write or draw or sculpt or whatever with the TV on, music blaring, a game on your phone and no ideas will come to you, turn it off. Whatever it is, turn it off. Embrace the boredom. Let your mind wander. It takes practice, but it's worth it. I promise.
You'll be a better artist for it.
