How I get in the mood to write depends on what I'm working on. For something short, a review of canon (or at least parts of canon) helps. For something long, reading what I've already written works reasonably well and helps me remember details. I do find that talking about what I'm trying to write can help me shake loose ideas when I'm stuck. It's just a luxury I seldom have. I don't find music particularly inspiring. I like to listen to it as background noise, but it doesn't tend to push me to write.
