The same way I get inspired. I listen to music, watch movies, read books. Take a break and soak in a bath.
If that doesn't work I go somewhere that always sets my mind going. I love looking at the stars, rain, or just being a passenger in the car looking at empty roads.
If all else fails, I pray, and just write anyway. Re-read over all my old works, and do what I can. Usually that fire is re-ignited. (It also helps to talk to people about my stories and brainstorm ideas.)

Honestly, I'm not really sure. I have a million books 'to read' and have struggled to decide what to go with.

Narnia.
I would go and hug Aslan and then meet the talking animals for meals.

The fact that you can create anything you want.
Want a bunch of evil overlord bunnies? Done!
A dark gritty crime world? Piece of cake!
Nuclear wasteland with Radioactive unicorns? Do it!
No one can tell you what you should or shouldn't write. It's your story. Tell it.

Don't quit. Practice, ask questions, observe others, find anyone who is experienced; learn from them and even if you don't use their advice, write it down! Later you may decide there was some wisdom to it.

I heard about an April Fools themed Romance collection and had this thought pop into my head.
"We're a couple! April fools!" And from that the story formed. I modeled Zeke after in some fashions an actor I like named Josh Hartnett. Then thought about all those cheesy highschool romances you saw on tv and in movies and wanted this to be a tribute to them in many ways. I wanted it to have the cute highschool feel, but not be completely shallow. Dealing with some real life junk we have to encounter. I feel this book captured the essence I was looking for even if I wasn't able to dig as deep as I desired.
