I work on something else for a while, or I just push through and write whatever I can think of, even if it's stupid. After I go on, I usually find something that works well.

You get all those dreams and thoughts and imagined conversations out of your head and see them realized in print.

Set aside a particular time each day to write. Don't listen to music while writing, and don't wait for inspiration. Just get words out. Inspiration will come later, and you can always delete words. But write without stopping until you're done, and then go back and edit the works.
And read. Keep reading.

I'm working on the first book in my Solomon Code series, entitled, "The Nephilim Protocol." High schooler Chad Dickson is caught in a mass shooting but manages to take down the shooter with super-strength he didn't know he possessed. A government agency shows up to spirit Chad away, informing him that he's from a race of monsters known as the Nephilim, super-powerful creatures rumored to be descended from angels. At one point they ruled the world, but now the government keeps them trapped on Attu Island, far out from Alaska. Escape is impossible, but to stay means death, as a mysterious disease is killing off Chad's new classmates. Chad and his friends must work desperately to find a way off the island before the disease takes them.

Oh man. What a question. Sometimes it's a book I read, sometimes it's a story I hear, sometimes it's just when I'm sitting down during my writing time and just writing out possible story prompts when one really hits me.

The Rules of Courtly Love I got when my graduate professor talked us through the Rules and I realized how many of them were totally applicable to relationships even in high school, and that all you would really need is a picture to make them clear.
My upcoming book, The Nephilim Protocol, I was looking through the YA section at the library and realized male protaganists were very outnumbered by the female ones. I conceived of a hero who I thought would represent modern sensibilities and tensions, and realized the ancient race of the Nephilim would fit perfectly.
