Have you tried any writing prompts? I find them really helpful! Or maybe check out some photographs on flickr, they usually inspire me as well. :)

I find reading helps, specially if you read in a genre you're most comfortable writing in or are familiar with. Music helps as well, finding songs that may fit moods and time lines helps as well. Bouncing ideas off friends and getting input from others could also awaken your inspiration. Heck even random nonsensical writing could spark something. Good luck!

I just realised it's been a while since anyone posted here, but oh well. This kind of thread seems quite helpful for anyone who's stuck with their writing. Anyway, everyone's ideas here are really good :) I'd also add that usually it just helps to force yourself to write something, because once you start, it gets a lot easier to continue. Just keep writing and don't let yourself take too long with editing as you go...just fake it til you make it ;)

I find that just writing anything (random thoughts that pop into your head, prompts, etc.) helps get the juices flowing and makes it easier to find the flow when you do have subject matter you want to work on.

In terms of finding something you want to write about, I have a list of OCs that have some degree of story to them, and then go from there.

In my experience, I have found that besides using writing prompts (which help a lot), writing ideas can come from nearly everywhere, from music, the environment around you, dreams, or just simply looking at a picture and come up with a story behind it.

If those don't work, then maybe going to a relaxing place, such as a quiet spot you like or even a bath might help.
