Consume inspiring material and recreate it after your own style, with your own metaphors and ideas.

Practice making metaphors and seeing reality in a different way.

Use your imagination (close your eyes and envision) a lot.

Learn many new words so you can actually express your new, profound imaginations.

Most of all, feel. When you feel, you want to create something, either as a crystallization of that feeling or as catharsis or maybe something more profound.

There was a successful author, I don't remember who, who started out writing by literally copying out other novels word-for-word. He was able to absorb the qualities of good writing this way and went on to do very well with his own novels.

Cormac McCarthy? Possibly John Gardner? I say Gardner because he mentions using this technique in his book on fiction writing.

DFW was asked about whether he thought this was a good idea and he said he thought he invented it. I’m pretty sure every writer from Benjamin on (who wrote about it in his diary) has tried this
