Thanks, everyone who provided advice for keeping a fresh perspective on my work. The compiled list included these suggestions:

Change jobs/industries
Participate in lively discussions, like TECHWR-L
Join groups of other writers: STC, NWU, local interest groups
Learn new stuff (frex: XML, Linux, etc.)
Job hunt
Mentor (see Techwr-l, STC)
Keep a weblog
Beware the "Peter Principle"
Pay attention to your passions
Talk to Personnel/HR/informal channels for opportunities
Don't worry about it so much

Guess I'll have to hunker down and think about it. :-) Thanks!
