Inspiration, for me, is not something you find. It's something that finds you. It comes to me most often when I'm doing something that doesn't require thinking. Maybe I'll be playing music, or cooking or something. Random thoughts drift across my mind with no real prompting, and every once in a while, one of them is a good idea for a story.
So basically, I find that the best way to get inspired is just to not try too hard. You'll never write if writing becomes a chore.
