This is how artists operate every single day around the world: they experiment. They work on projects that move them.Find the meaning and purpose of your work, focusing less on ideas, and more on inspiration and a good work ethic. Don't be afraid to have the occasional bad write up as well.

Approach your writing in an objective, relaxed manner. You don't have to find one great idea after another, daily, without fail. Take it one day at a time.

It helps to know what your upper-level of inspiration is because that determines your direction, tone, and voice as you go through your writer's journey.
Beyond that, the possibilities are truly limitless.
Things that frequently inspire me: <ul>
	<li>Other writers' blog posts or books</li>
	<li>My Facebook feed, Twitter, etc.</li>
	<li>The news</li>
	<li>Movies, TV, or music</li>
	<li>My personal challenges</li>
	<li>Things I observe or experience</li>
	<li>My feelings</li>
</ul> 
I use two main methods to sift through inspiration for things to write about. First, I'm always on the hunt for a life lesson in virtually everything I encounter. After 18 months of daily blogging, I'm not sure that I can even turn it off anymore.
After that, I pay attention to my strongest opinions. When an issue pops up and I have a passionate response, I know that's a good topic for a blog post because I'll have plenty of passion to fuel my work.
In blogging, passion is a special ingredient. It excites us as we write, and in turn, that energy reaches our reader.
There are certain topics that I always have something to say about, and these are perennial, or evergreen.
