Spilling words no matter what they are can help.
Writing prompts help too, if you are lacking the inspiration.
Taking a walk can help I've heard.
If I'm stuck on a character can't get into their head, even if I can, I'll start browsing through character development sheets or prompts. Sometimes those spark things that you never knew about your character, and could inspire a story to develope that new part.

Jaxen's suggestions mostly work for me. Plus taking a walk, like Aria said - I brainstorm a lot when walking my dog. The other thing I'd say is that sometimes the motivation is just not there, in which case you shouldn't be afraid to just pack up and go do something else for a while. The "muse" will come back. Sometimes you just need a break.

Starting to really learn how to plan things. I'm trying however to find a balance between planning and still leaving an element of spontaneity. I think that sometimes having something unexpected helps with character development. Any thoughts on this?
