i think everyone goes through swings of interest.
personally id say about once a month i wont do anything music related for a day or two, but generally im mixing or screwing around with some random production attemp daily.

I think the biggest problem is finding the inspiration to create music. Sometimes you will see something, hear something, feel something, and be moved to just pour out your emotions in musical form. Since I am a visual artist as well, this has always come naturally to me, but of course there are times where I just don't have any real inspiration. I think the worst thing you can do is force yourself to make a piece of art (visual or musical), because you will never be satisfied with the result.

Over the past year I went about 6 or 7 months where I only made 1 decent track. After getting some new found inspiration in November, I have made about 4 new tracks (about 1 per week). And listening to these new tracks, I can tell immediately that they have improved alot over my old work.

I feel the same way, I've been producing for about a year and a half, and the only thing I've seen with progression is my programming ability with VSTis, it either I create a fat sound but no good melody, or if i'm remixing, the sound is muddy, over-compressed or under-compressed, EQing, blah blah blah etc... but i'm going to keep trying, if I don't get it right soon I just might give up.
