Since I'm new to the forum -- and that's some good advice, by the way -- I hope I didn't miss any implicit rules or anything. So here goes:

Make notes
Whenever you hear or come up with a great idea about how to phrase something; make a note of it. Keep a notebook handy, use your phone or whatever is handy. It's really annoying not recalling that thing you thought about in that place.

Find your inner child
Plenty of the greats (Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Miller etc) seem to have had the ability to look upon the world through a child's eyes, but still use their own voice when putting what they saw into Words.
