Here is what I do, and I've found that many famous writers throughout history do the same thing.You have to train yourself to write even when you are uninspired or feeling lazy. Realize that you are no longer doing this for pure enjoyment alone. You are doing this because there are people counting on you to do this. So do it. If you were a professional writer, you would use this same motivation, only instead of your friends waiting on you, it is your publisher who is holding your check!Just pick up that pencil (or open MS Word, or whatever!) and write write write. The good ideas will come. Even if you have to work your way through a bunch of bad ideas first.If you're still struggling, do NOT look to the work of others from the same field for inspiration less you wish to unconsciously rehash what they have already done. I would look to national geographic magazines (or a similar periodical of equal quality), documentaries, conversations you overhear while out and about in public, newspapers and above all: your own life. For D&D, paging through the monster manual might spark your imagination. The DMs guide also has a list of 100 adventure ideas.</blockquote>
