I guess there are two kinds of writer's block - when I feel like I want to write but am having difficulty getting words on the page, and when I am not feeling strongly about writing.
If I'm not feeling strongly I consider this "writer's rest" and work on other things.
If I feel like there is something to write I often go for a walk on a beach or in the woods - sometimes it even takes a couple of days for the words to crystallise, but then when the moment is right, the words show up (and I often write on my phone or on a piece of paper because it's often just a few lines that were too difficult to write at a desk).
