Don't wait for inspiration, just do it. You can't write anything if you just wait around for something that won't come.

Quick answer: I don't. Sometimes I'll write 10k words in a couple of days, sometimes I'll go weeks without writing.
If it has been a really long time since I finished a piece and I feel like I need to post something, I'll have my friends holding me accountable, so that they will be constantly bugging me about it.
If you want to write something, but not the piece you are working on, the best thing is to leave it aside and go write a new work. Who cares if you end up with 10 wips?
Writing prompts can also be used to get inspiration from.
Also, I feel like I should state I am in no way a writing expert. I write fanfic, run an unknown writeblr and I did two semesters of creative writing, but I've never come close to being a published author (or even internet famous), so take what I say with a grain of salt. It's just what I've gathered from personal experience
