I'm having a case of writer's block.
How does one overcome it?

This picture describes it pretty well.

Listen to music. Classical works best for me.

Get drunk, write, edit the next morning. It works for me.

Just write what you can and try to go out and do stuff.

Go for a walk or drive. I heard that the last act of Casablanca was written while the writers went for a drive. It has something to do with brainwaves.

Open up iWorks, sip your coffee from your midwestern coffee giant.

Write, write anyold thing that comes to your mind

It can be be a poem about scrambled eggs

Or it can be a piece of fiction about shooting the piss with Hemingway

Just write, and eventually you'll start writing something good

Or something really terrible, either way

You can just add line breaks and call it hipster poetry.

In the end, you get the chicks.

I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.

I'm going to out.

two things you can do:

1) get up and go out, try to pay attention to the sounds, voices, words, conversations, colors, if it's hot or cold or warm, listen to your breathing, etc. When you get back try to sleep and if you have a dream write about it.

2) get a blank piece of paper and just write the first word that you hear or read in a book or think of, from that word you start your first paragraph.

hope I helped. :)

I would have to agree with getting drunk.
100% effective.

Hemmingway also said in an interview 'I'm an alcoholic, not an idiot' when asked about writing drunk
