I'm out of ideas. Should have seen this coming. :(
I would really like to make a cp map but then, nothing in particular comes into my mind. I've been sitting down in front of a piece of paper for like 2 hours doing nothing but staring into it.

So, I thought I would just ask you guys. :) Should I do something else i.e sleep? Or can you give me a bit of a inspiration to develop? What do you do when you hit a wall?

Go online and look at pictures of cute puppies and kittens.

Try playing the game and then seeing what aspects of gameplay you enjoy, or if you have ideas that you'd like to try out. Like, take a critical eye to your existing favorite maps and see why the devs did what they did, extrapolate that idea, and put it into your own words - with 10 other map ideas from other sources, etc.

I:

-Go back through old ideas. Something piqued my interest about it the first time around, maybe now that some time has passed I can figure out the next piece.
-Browse architecture and landscape images obsessively and keep a cool images folder.
-Focus on something else. I've always found that taking a break and focusing on something else (play a game you've been meaning to play, start a project at home, whatever) helps me get a fresh perspective.
-Comedy Option: Juggle (it helps me think)

something I find cool is making maps based off of other video games I like :p (ex: Hyrule/goldenrod city)
