Writer's block is a difficult thing to get past. What helps me the most is when I get away and go for a walk. I live in the country so it's very peaceful and quiet and I can think. If I don't make myself crazy and just relax then ideas will sometimes pop into my head.
Sometimes, I just sit down at my computer and start typing random things until an idea starts to form. I keep telling myself that all I have to do is write one sentence. That sentence grows into another one and so on. I also tell myself that it's not a final draft so just write and don't worry about everything else. You can change it all later.
