Anybody find musical inspiration by accidentally playing the wrong chord?

When I'm in a "writer's block", finding I can't get out of the same old chords like all the other songs I've heard/written ...

... sometimes my fingers will go awry on the keyboard, and a "wrong" chord gets played ... and BAM!! that's all I need to go off with some new musical idea.

Does that happen to anyone else?

I imagine it would happen more to people without extensive formal musical knowledge and training (like me) than otherwise?

Very interested to hear other's comments - thanks!
