I've always had an active imagination. Things that I come across every day will get me thinking about a possible story. Often, these ideas take off and turn into something vastly different than what originally inspired them. Writing provides the perfect outlet for these ideas. In addition to novel writing, I am constantly writing short stories (usually in the science fiction or fantasy genres) that I've developed from these ideas.

When I get writer's block, it's often for a particular section of a story. I usually try to tackle a different part of the book and then revisit the difficult section later. Often, by working through other sections of the story, I can figure out what I was getting writer's block over. (This requires story planning in advance, however, or things can get very muddled.)
