Free-associate with a sketchbook

If I'm working from my imagination, I'll just free-associate with a sketchbook, charcoal and pastel pencils. If I do something I really like, I'll scale it up to oil painting size and paint it. If nothing comes, I'll just draw or paint something in front of me, also known as reality. The hardest part is coming up with something that resonates emotionally and feels original.
