I find that exercise such as jogging or lifting weights helps me come up with new ideas. I've always felt that writers of today have been wrongly led to believe that writing a certain amount of words will make one magically into a writer. I think this belief was unfortunately set in motion by Ray Bradbury and his famous "million words of unpublishable prose".
So now, everywhere we look, there are writers pumping out prose. And in writing circles I've seen people submitting stories with the same mistakes each week. It's not enough to just write every day. Writers have to constantly push the envelope of what they are capable of. [Like not ending on a preposition or using a sentence fragment
