Generally, I just keep writing even if I know I'll have to toss it out later. Writer's block is no different than a baseball player's slump. Writers keep writing and baseball players keep taking their swings. In either cast it's continuing the process that gets things back to normal.

Keep writing (and reading). The more you write the more your thoughts flow. If you stay at it, you'll have a whole page, then two. When you break through to where your thoughts are firing on all cylinders, you'll begin having fun. Once that happens your story will begin writing itself. It's a great ride, so buckle up!
