So, daily writing and new stories are two completely different processes.
For New Stories - I have a wonderful friend that sends me cool science articles, usually from The New York Times. For example - he sent me an article on rats getting infrared vision, and that was the inspiration for Titanium Web - that idea reminded me that the Guardians would see the next level of human evolution as technological. (ie: transhumanism).
For daily inspiration - I tend to find I get my best ideas when I'm not trying too hard. I will think about whatever is next in the story - a chapter or a scene - either while running in the woods or drifting off to sleep. That's usually when things fall into place for me.
