I can honestly say I've never encountered this affliction - (knock on wood). Rather, my trouble has always been finding the time to craft vehicles for all the ideas that run through my head.

Always advance your craft! By that I mean you should always be reading, writing, observing, or simply stringing beautiful, meaningful sentences in your head.

Inspiration to write comes in a number of forms. Positive feedback from readers always serves as an injection of sorts. Ideas that percolate to the point that they must meet paper is another, and, of course, reading great literature always inspires me to attempt to create my own.

As an eighth grade teacher I was frustrated by my inability to read so many of the great, modern YA novels in class because of material that would be deemed inappropriate by some of the parents of my students. I set out to write an inspirational novel that 1.) addressed themes that many/most youth encounter; 2.) would appeal to both genders; 3.) would have enough of an edge to interest YA readers but not so much as to alienate parents' sensibilities. RAYMOND AND TRUDY, I'm hopeful, achieves all three objectives.
