The river needs no serenades.

There Josh, you can even use that line if you want. I like to try to help.

Honestly it just sounds like you haven't been exercising your brain much with activity, I recommend playing chess.

I can't sing, and I'm not good enough at the guitar to write a song

I have known vocalists who couldnt play an instrument who wrote the words then made up melodies in their heads. They needed to collaberate with other musicians to put it down on paper.
Even little kids make up tunes in their heads
It goes to show you do not need to be a good musician to write songs.
By the same token, good musicians do not necessarily write good songs.
I am not a good song writer, although some of my melodies are not so bad.
If I come up with a tune, or a part tune/bridge/chorus/fragment, riff etc. I do not throw it away.
It sometimes gets changed, sometimes used as it is, sometimes never gets used. Just don't throw it away.

You dont need to be good at singing to write songs, or need to even play an instrument either.

A very famous songwriter wrote some of his best songs on a piano that was geared for one key. All he did was pull a lever, and the piano did the rest for him.

Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet said that on a great program i watch called Song book. Different artists perform unplugged versions of they're hits, whilst some guy ask's them questions in between songs.

So far i've seen:

Gary Kemp, Fran Healy from Travis, James Blunt, the bloke from Snow Patrol, Donovan.
