Whenever I had trouble writing, i'd do one of 2 things. One was proactive, one was destructive. As for the first, I'd ask a friend or coworker to give me a topic, any topic, and i'd write a song about it while keeping the original idea vague...worked for songs about the old Sonic the Hedgehog game and a towel (weird, I know, but it worked). The destructive one, though, I wouldn't recommend anymore. While I was doing it subconciously, I later realized that I would ruin relationships just so I could write more lyrics...each bad break-up spawned about about 5 or more songs (works for depressive/angry metal lyrics). Anyway, now I just wait for the mood to strike...forced material isn't always great material
