In my limited experience best stuff doesn't happen in vacuum.
Pick something that interests you, no matter how trivial or hard.
Start hacking on it. Sooner or later you will discover that a library
you use is missing a feature, is badly documented, has bugs, whatever.
Fix the issue and send a patch to maintainer. Don't feel bad if for
some reason or another your contribution doesn't get merged immediately.
Get back to your own project, and keep hacking till you notice another
problem. Maybe you need to do something and no existing library caters
to your needs? Time to fix it!
If you get bored with your project, pick another one.
