Have you ever taken a good look at your bookshelf? It should not be news that what you read informs and shapes your writing. What are your favourite authors? Do you see their influences in your writing? Why or why not?
The fundamental premise that art influences art definitely applies. Is it only literature that inspires you? Do you hear notes of your favourite music humming through your work? Or do images of the last gallery/movie/poster/graphic novel you saw find themselves in your work?
A great way to stimulate your writing is to step outside your comfort zone artistically. What works for you?
