What cures are there for writer's block?

Apart from "Get on with the bloody story!"

Come to think of it, that is the only solution that has worked for me in the past.

Another option would be to spend some time away from the monitor screen and take a lie down. So long as I don't return to the terminal pissed like the last time, in which I actually started losing focus and nodding off at the keyboard.

Any more ideas?

Get away from it entirely. Wait until inspiration hits. Write.

I'm having real trouble getting back into the swing of all my fics.

It just takes time and inspiration.

I find that watching Monty Python gets me into a fic mood.

OK, I'm back, and I've just posted the Alien Escort Agency thread-starter. I have no idea whether that's a good sign or a major step backward. :twisted:
