One idea I do have to offer is to consider working with various types of divination card decks to prompt creativity.

Currently reading "Tarot for Writers," by Corrine Kenner.

Fabulous for generating ideas for characters (arcgetype card deck), relationship issues & conflicts (Mythic Tarot deck), etc., etc., etc!

This is a little-known technique said to have been used by John Steinbeck, Stephen King and, no doubt, countless others!

Enjoy!!!
