P.D. Ball
By moving my body and staying away from the internet. Walking, exercising or showering, ideas all come to me unbidden. And through writing - writing itself is generative. It produces cascades of new thoughts. If you're trying to write something and you're stuck, try writing a different paragraph or scene and if that fails, go for a walk. If that still doesn't work, have a beer.
