This is a little long, but hopefully will help those trying to get content.
I start by:
1. Researching/brainstorming a topic. Using Yahoo (overture) and WordTracker I research topics looking for good searches and low competition for those topics. Resently I did an article on Dutch Ovens. Found 40-60 good keyword phrases with several hundred searches per month and found about 15 with no competition.
2. Using Google, Yahoo and MSN I search using my keyword/topic and review websites returned. If I find interesting material, I copy and paste it to notepad. If I find that it is mainly sales related information I return to step one and choose a different keyword. The material pasted into notepad becomes the meat for my article.
3. Once I have 6 or more pieces of articles I create an article outline with title ideas, intro, keypoints (the stuff copied from the web) and a closing. Then I begin to write. I found the term Dutch Oven Cherry Deserts was search about 1000 times a month and no websites used that keyword phrase. Then researched and found half a dozen recipes for Dutch Oven Cherry Deserts which became the bases for the article.
4. After writing the articles by simply rephrasing the material and filling out the outline, I have it proofed and create a title. Title includes the keyword phrase up front and usually a number of some type. Such as 4 Easy Dutch Oven Cherry Deserts in under 90 minutes.
5. Verify keyword usuage so that I don't spam it Want to repeat the phrase only a few times. Header, opening sentence (Intro), maybe two or three times in the body and in the closing.
6. Post to my website
7. After about a week or so, post to Article Directories.
8. Use it in my newsletter.
9. Depending on popularity and subject maybe make it into an ebook for publication.

Thats it. No matter how bad the writers block or subject, I can always find information to write on.
