Making observations in real life and seeing the same things in your stories and characters--it lets you know you're telling truth in the lies.
Cooking along writing scenes, building tension and conflict, and realizing the dots actually connect--the midpoint falls in the middle of the story, the final piece falls into place just as the third act begins, etc.

It is more painful not to write than it is to sit my butt down and get to work.
I also see storytelling a privilege. I am honored to spend time with these characters and share their stories with readers.

It does not exist.
Writers can be blocked out of fear, or because she took the story in the wrong direction and the characters are just standing around, waiting for her to go back and figure it out.
If you're stuck, go through the story and find the spots where you deviated from the theme, plot, momentum, etc. and work to return to the truth of the characters and the story you're telling.

I am reading through the fantastic Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell for probably the fifth time, and got depressed because I'm getting close to the end of the series and won't have any more to look forward to.
So I thought: "Why not write a new series for readers to enjoy?"
That got the ball rolling, and hopefully Akon's Mission will be the first book in that series.

Right now I'm writing the first book in a series of historical thrillers about a Spartan warrior selected for the krypteia, Sparta's version of Special Forces, on the eve of the Peloponnesian War. It is called Akon's Mission, and I'm having a blast with it.
