Trigger words.

In other words just listing to pretty much anything and one word or one picture will just click and give me a huge idea for a story out of no where.

However, I can't obv just sit on my ass and wait for it, so to force it sometimes there's videos you can watch or I can just write crap/troll stories to get me in the writing mood.
