It seems I always end up making a 'soundtrack' for the story I'm working on. A playlist of songs that relate to the storyline, characters, themes, of what I'm working on. I burn it onto a CD and often play it in the car. It helps bring those muses to the forefront of my mind.

Another thing I do, I've done it on my LJ a few times, is ask people on my flist to give me three words. I then write a snippet which includes those three words. It has to be somehow related to the novel but doesn't need to be strictly a part of it. Just whatever comes to mind. Sometimes that leads to something else that leads back to the story.

I hope that helps some.
