if you can, go for a brisk walk. Nice crisp air will feed your brain with oxygen and loads of new ideas. take a notebook, and camera if possible and REALLY look around you - building/places that you see every day often reveal something new...
Unless it's writing for a job with a deadline, writing shouldn't be a chore, elizabeth. If you feel you 'want' to write, but don't know what, look at briefs for writing competitions. There is often a theme and a word count which might help you to focus.
I just wait for inspiration to strike. Sometimes it's a long time coming, but often it's worth the wait!
