How does one keep the fire of writing alive?

The fire feeds on new ideas.  Seek out and explore that which you have
not already seen and written.  Whether new takes on what you have,
fanfics from those with significantly different perspectives from your
own, or better (for fanfics), new series entirely, don't limit yourself
exclusively what you have already done.  Fires can not live on ash.
