2. Music, music, music!
Music is a great inspiration tool. If you can't think of anything, listen to music that you like, or if you are working on a project like a novel, music that has to do with your idea.

3. Take a break.
Work on a different project, write short stories, or try something completly new. If you always write horror, try writing a nice poem. Or if you write fantasy, try writing a mystery novel.

4. Write every day.

6. Write without looking over your work.
The more you look over your work before you are finished with it, the more you will see things that aren't actually flaws. Your ideas will flow much better if you let them direct themselves, if that makes sense.

The bottom line is, if you write every day and write a variety of different things, you will become a better writer.
