Brainstorming. Just think up random ideas and write them down. Think up stupid ideas and write them down. Just get your hands and mind moving, above all else.
If you're really blocked, go read! Try to focus on the written word for half an hour or so, and then try writing again. It's very easy to get into a mental state where you are looking for distractions, and eliminating all of them for a short while can help you get back into the groove.
