Beating writers block?

Question

What's the best way to get past writers block? Anyone know some good writing exercises? I've tried reading but that isn't working.

Answer 1

Write something else. What I do is silly things like get on Yahoo Answers and answer questions.......

Or set a topic (unrelated to the ongoing project you are blocked about) and require yourself to write a page about it just like theme writing in school.

I find either of these seem to "unblock" me.

Answer 2

Watch a funny movie you have not seen before , with your favorite foods , go to bed and get up the next day ready to go . Works everytime.
