1. Music
For each person, the music will be different. Some like classical, some like metal, some like jazz, some like country, and even others like some soft rock. There are so many different kinds of music to put onto the speakers and close your eyes to. Just listen.

2. Read Your Favorite Book
That old reliable that you pick up when you want something familiar to read; when you want to discover new things about even an old and familiar favorite. The familiar pages can stir ideas in your own head - familiar characters can help you form your own - who would those familiar characters interact with? What would they say to one another? What kind of qualities would they look for in friends?

3. Writing Resources - Writing Prompts
Right here on the website, we have some prompts available to anyone. The prompts come up at random, and I'll admit that many of them make me giggle. Making me smile is a great way to get me to write, and helps me break my block.

4. Sketching a Scene
Pick the scene you're stuck on, pick up a paper and pencil, and do a little sketch. It doesn't have to look pretty; you don't have to be a good artist. Putting a scene on paper might give you a little insight into a missing detail, or perhaps even what should come next.

5. Just Do It
Write anyway. You're blocked, but write anyway. Keep it going. It may not sound good, it may not be what you want, but continuing is better than staring at a blank page. One always has to edit, anyway, so it's not even wasted time.
