I've challenged myself with this: for the past three months or so I've been writing a new piece of flash fiction and posting it to my blog every weekday (
Daily Flash Fiction). It works out fairly well, which is surprising because I don't normally respond well to pressure. Of course, they're not all fully realized pieces of fiction - some are flashes of what I think are much longer pieces, short episodes in a story or a piece of description. But I think I get reasonable results
Oh and tc33, I've seen lots of books on Amazon about the 'Flow state', which is close to what Steve is talking about, and that might be worth looking at. Creative states I find I get in whenever I'm writing fiction, and I can get in them a lot faster if I'm picking up where I left off on a longer piece (like my novel), but I've not yet found anyway to force it. But I can sometimes force a flow state, which is similar but less inspiring.
