Ew. Every writer's nightmare!
First thing is to pray. Then...
When I'm just fidgeting for ideas, I do some simpler tasks like updating my website, answering emails, or tidying up my office.
When I'm dead-bolt blocked, I take a walk, hop on one of our exercise machines, or do some other physical activity. Getting the body moving helps get the mind moving. I'll try working on an entirely different project for a while.
Regardless, I keep a pen and paper handy so when the block releases, I can capture the ideas while I'm heading for the keyboard.
