Writers block tip: On a separate sheet of paper, just start writing anything - Blog posts (this is made of win, incidentally), sports reports of the last game you watched, Wesley/Worf slash, haiku of the charge of the Light Brigade, wevs. Make it as insane as you want, actually, as insane as you possibly can ("At halftime, they reattached River's arm with baling wire and shot him full of enough steroids to make his balls hit the vanishing point...") This technique clears out the mental roadblocks, call 'em enrons or whatever the goddammit scientologists call 'em, doesn't matter, and may also result in usable writing on its own.
