I usually listen to some sort of movie music. That normally gives me at least some ideas.

Uggggggghhhhh WRITER'S BLOCK I HATE YOU!!!!!!! *See siggy*
I just murdered the writer's block I had a week or two ago - it was probably the WORST writer's block I have ever had! It was terrible! It lasted for a really long time, and after completely redoing the story three times, I just dropped it and started a new one. An excellent thing, because now I'm writing a lot more.
(Don't drop your stories for the heck of it though, only after redoing it three times as I have done should you do it. )
As for writer's block:

I had a stupid postponement of progress not too long ago trying to decide whether or not I wanted to give one of my characters a gun, but for the longest time couldn't figure out a good explanation or reason (besides to make eveyone else VERY suspicious) and one morning over spring break the next like 4000 words, involving a gun, just suddenly came into mind. It was weird. And it only worked out like that once. I know, because I'm trying to get the same thing to happen again and it isn't going so well.

I've had the worst writer's block lately ... thought it'd ease up once I finished with my finals, but no such luck. It's gotten worse. I've started keeping some journals (interesting stuff + dreams and other New Age nonsense) but it's still te most awful feeling.
I've had writer's block for a little while. It's prevented me from coming up with any new stories. Thankfully, it hasn't gotten in the way of any old stories being edited. So I've been going over old stories, touching them up and trying to make them presentable. Hopefully when I'm done editing the old stuff some new stuff will be waiting for me.
Hmmm...with everyone, it's different. Like, if I get a block, I just go through my entire story, reading it all the way through. I usually put on some music about half-way through and try to focus on what I had planned to write next. It works most of the time, but you have to try and find your own way of dealing with it. 'Kay?

On two seperate occasions after finish a novella and a full-blown novel, I didn't write anything for months. After finishing the novella, I suffered for six or seven months. After finishing the novel, I suffered for only four months.
It's come to the point where I'm quite used to it, so I treasure whenver I'm writing and love it for what it is. I'm not really bothered by writer's block anymore. I just look at it as a time to enjoy other fine things in life; writing music is one of those things. Smoking cigars is another.

I just finally started a book (posable novel) and it's a tragic story but my mom thinks it's okay so far. She got lost at one point and I'm glad she asked me about it too....
But ya! I started something I plan to finish!
We've all been broken in some way. It's just how we express it that makes us dffrent form eachother.
