I do. It applies to conlanging, to conculturing, to writing, and
some other related creative hobbies (and subjects within those!).
In Spanish we call them _rachas_, i. e. lapses of time (several
days) during which everything seems to be fine and run smooth for
a particular activity, while you "don't have time" for others...
Unfortunately, _rachas_ usually have in common the fact that they
wear out pretty soon and fade quickly, and sometimes it takes a
month to catch another one. Call it an inspiration pit, if you
like. :-(
