I don't believe in it. I think that you can always find something to work on. You may not have any ideas for your current WIP, but you can work on something else.
I tend to think that writer's block is an excuse not to work. It's okay to admit that you're tired, had a bad day, unmotivated, etc., and you don't want to work right now. It happens to all of us. But don't call it writer's block and hole up like you're some tortured artist. If you want to work, you can always find something to write. It may be awful, but it's something and you can fix it later.
