Writer's Block

Dear chaps and chapettes, I need a few good tips, if you can spare me some.

I am working on a Jooster fic, which I have rather high hopes for. Longish, about four chapters/10,000 words I estimate (unless the plot bunny mutates horribly). I have the whole story worked out in my head, I wrote the first chapter with great enthusiasm and then - writer's block. I can't seem to write a single sentence without grimacing at it afterwards.

So, in short - what do people do when they have writer's/artist's block? How do you get your creative juices flowing again, so to speak? I'm asking since even my usual routine of tea, books and biscuits didn't work, and I really, really want to finish this fic :)

Thanks in advance!

Can't do it. Either I have my writing head on, in which case I'm just about incapable of doing anything BUT write, or I don't, in which case there isn't a snowball in hell's chance of me writing anything even halfway decent. And I really don't

...sodding keyboard. See, I can't even manage to write a comment without cocking it up.
I really don't know any way of changing to writing-head and back again.

Take it back. You're super. Where would we be without you?

I really must stop using shared machines and forgetting to log in. *sigh*
It's a Writing Head On thing. If I'm not in the right headspace to write, I write shit.
