This question is being posed to the members of several boards actually for an article being written for a gaming site. Your answers will be included in the article, quoted verbatim (full credits of course) unless you state specifically in the response that you don't want it to be included.

When you suddenly find your inspiration lacking, the mind has gone numb and blank, how do you cure yourself from writer's block?

Settle down with a nice cup of sweet tea and play a few rounds of Star Wars Alliance.

Realise that people are going to be on my ass if i don't post, and its proactive laziness to get it done ASAP.

Then again, i only really post in battles or with lup now, so i can either watch a war movie or some old buffy series 3, where angel goes evil.

Nothing.

Smoke Pot.

Some more nothing.

Something.

I go running, weightlifting, or fencing generally; anything that gets my body moving while my brain shuts off for a recuperation period...

I generally just move to another project until I feel motivated to going back to the original one. That or I go visit or talk to my girlfriend. It might not motivate me to write more, but at least it will be fun and I won't sit infront of the computer waiting for an idea to come. Or, if its during the day and I'm on my spare, play Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour because I'm too cheap to buy Star Wars: Empire At War so its my newest strategy game. If that doesn't motivate me to work to bring the downfall of the Empire about, then nothing will.
