I figure out why I'm blocked and resolve the issue. Sometimes I'm tired. Sometimes I need to let the scene stew in my head a little more. I will often skip a scene and move on to keep my creative momentum going. Never underestimate the power of momentum.

Read and write. Reading good books or books on the craft will help you get better at writing. And you can't get better at something unless you practice. Write and experiment, find what genre fits you and what writing methods work best for you. And if you can, find a supportive community.

Mostly from reading. Sometimes from playing video games and watching movies. I love fantasy and science fiction and I'll see one small thing in another place and it will spark an idea that takes on a life of its own.

I was sitting in a writing conference in a class about writing for young readers. I decided to try writing middle grade. I also realized that I had never written a story about dragons (a travesty I know). So said I want to write a book about dragons. What kind of dragons? And Trusted was born from there.
