For the current book that I just published, "On Earth As It Is In Hell" I had writer's block for 4 years!! I wrote the first 9 chapters, and realized that I did not know what direction to go next. The next time I picked the book up to finish it, I prayed about it, and I had dreams that appeared to me like a movie. I would keep a pad and pen by the bed, and write it exactly as I saw it in my dreams.
To answer your question, when I am experiencing writer's block, I almost always go to a movie. I need to draw inspiration from other sources, or events that are going on in the world. I have to walk away from a project, regroup, and then proceed with my work.
