I, too, "suffered" from not knowing how to improve my glyphs; every time
I tried to make a script for a conlang, it somehow looked the same.

It got better when I actually sat down to study some interesting glyphs
and tried to find out what the compounding elements are (e.g. serifs,
loops, crossings..).

When I started with Eyahwánsi I knew what kind of script I wanted, but
couldn't really create suitable glyphs for it.
I decided to print out several different scripts that resembled the type
of script I was aiming at. I studied those, and then sat down and
created a set of glyphs (not all at once - it took about three or four
sessions to create all of them). Having studied several glyphs helped me
to be able to create a script with the look-and-feel I had in mind.

Take a look at http://www.omniglot.com/ to find inspiration.
