Alchemiss, I was just going to suggest the morning pages! I've found it difficult to have the discipline to do them
every day, but sure have found some golden nuggets of insight in writing them when I do hunker down and do it.
Aspiring, you just write three long-hand pages in the morning as soon as you wake up (while your mind is still all smooshy from sleep), whatever comes freestreaming through your mind. I usually find that the first two pages are always blah-blah-blah junk -- and then Voila! -- some precious new insight will come leaping up, things I can't believe I'm seeing for the first time.
The whole Artist's Way process is fun, but the morning pages were my favorite part. (You don't have to do the whole thing; you can just do the pages.)
