How a pro worked. Isaac Asimov: How to Never Run Out of Ideas Again.

1. Never Stop Learning - read everything.
2. Don’t Fight the Stuck - work on something else.
3. Beware the [self-]Resistance - ignore your insecurities.
4. Lower Your Standards - 'rough' makes a good start.
5. Make MORE Stuff - stay too busy to worry.
6. The Secret Sauce - "...thinking and thinking and thinking till I’m ready to kill myself. […] Did you ever think it was easy to get a good idea?”

You too could write 500+ books. Get to work.
 
I think the real clue to writing is in your bio, Hypoxia - never watch television. Good advice!
