For me, the key to conquering writer's block is to have multiple projects at all times. If I am temporarily stuck on one, I'll put it down and give my subconscious a question to work on, generally having to do with the motivation of a character. Then I'll turn my attention to another book, short story, essay or blog.
One morning I'll have a solution to the original problem and can return to the original project.
