A fellow writer warned others not to wait for inspiration to hit but to sit down and write. I agree although inspiration has kindly knocked on my door a few times. Often we censor our thoughts or ideas before giving them a chance. I urge students and others to let the ideas flow; write down all thoughts, and then go back and see what's a keeper and what's not.
What's neat too about letting ideas out is that often the piece in our heads takes on a life of its own and goes in directions we hadn't thought at the beginning.
