...going back to the first reply to this thread:
JUST WRITE.
Turn off your inner editor and just put words on the page (or the screen). Take a notebook and your ipod to a local coffee shop or a library. Take your laptop to the park.
Just write. Stop worrying about how good or bad it might be; you can always fix it later. Just push onward.
Reassess what you wrote before--did you write yourself into a corner? Either write your way out of it or trash the corner and go in a different direction.
And monkeys. Add monkeys, they always help. Even when they're typing the works of Shakespeare on a thousand typewriters.
All kidding aside...try the change of scenery and if you write on the computer, try writing longhand instead (and vice versa). Above all,
just write. Because it's what a writer does.
