Try warming the ink, put in a cup of warm/hot water. Warm it up then dry it off and scribble a bunch on a blank pad until the ink works. Try not to shake it because that could make bubbles that would stop the ink again.

The ball has to roll through the ink to write. Get the ink to the end where the point is.
Hold the pen like a thermometer and shake it briskly to force the ink to the writing end.
There ya go.

my dad used to light a match and hold the tip of the pen over the flame briefly...it always (and i mean ALWAYS) worked for him.
