Uh, welwhat I usual do is watch a movie or listen to a song to freshen some ideas, or go out to the mall and busy myself, but never forget that Im trying to continue a story or a book. Some professional authors look at paintings or listen to classic music (which I think is boring) but its up to you to find out what inspiration you need to find to continue something
Sorry if that confuzed you or didnt help. Heheh... my advice isnt the best but its worth a shot.
