Honestly? Google Trends. I researched to see what recipe(s) people looked up the most and Pizza was #1.

There is a galaxy of ideas out there for my cook books, so inspiration isn't hard.
For the fiction I'm working on, I think of certain people and they help me get my rear in gear.

I just finished the first draft of Pizza 100 Recipes. I need to proof it, find pictures I can use in it, and then turn it in for formatting.
I'm also working on putting together another project under another pen name.
It's in the organizational phase - the material has been written, now I'm putting it together in the order I want it to be in.

Probably the same I've seen time and again. Don't waste time talking about doing it - DO IT.
Write every day. Not all day, but carve out some time and write. Write anything that comes to mind, or start setting down that magnum opus that's been in your head for years.
WRITE.
And don't let anyone tell you not to.
These are your stories to tell.

I'm in control of my time - how much I spend researching and actually writing.
It allows me an avenue to be creative and hopefully contribute something people will be able to use and enjoy.

I don't know that I experience writer's block so much as "writer's reluctance". With the 100 Recipes series, I've got a long list of subjects from which to choose, so those are never a problem.
Fiction writing on the other hand comes to me in fits and starts, and I nearly always drag my feet when doing it.
