My problem is usually the reverse: my thoughts and ideas battle for first place and I always have so much to write. If I do feel I cannot find the words, I take a break, go for a walk or do something else. I pick up a book! That usually helps. Staring at a screen, typewriter or pen for hours won't be very useful in my opinion. If you let your mind wander and explore other stimuli, you are giving your brain and thoughts a chance to percolate and , in my experience, that will usually yield an AHA moment! (less)

If you know you have something to say or share, start with what comes to you first, whether it's the prologue or ending. The rest falls into place as you navigate through it. A first draft is just that, a draft. The first manuscript will never be ready or good enough and will undergo lots of reconstruction, so you may as well get started. Editors are you allies and partners in crime and are there to help carve your writing voice. Reading lots of books has helped me a great deal as well as keeping a blog. That was great practice. Even watching movies. I pay attention to the script, dialogue and body language more and ask myself, how would I describe this scene? Writing workshops are great and the NANoWriMo community is fantastic! (less)
