Christopher Clark
I have a two-pronged approach. First, I almost always listen to music while I write. It has to be something a little heavy, with a droning, grinding beat that keeps my mind pushing forward. When that fails me, I will often read backwards in order to refresh my mind on goings-on so far and edit what I've already written. These two things tend to get me moving forward again.
It's also important to me to never try to force myself. If I am really, truly struggling to make headway, I'll honestly just take a break for 30 minutes and clear my head. If I try to force it, even if I do make progress I tend to rewrite it later because it's not very good.
