I go for a walk or, more often, clean the house! Usually turning my brain off completely allows the ideas to come. But as I have answered before, you can't wait for the Muse to strike before writing. She's fickle and apparently very busy, and often goes AWOL for ages. So the trick is to write, every day. Even if the next day you delete most of it.
