I too am a writer, but I generally don't get writer's block. Usually, it's more of a matter of me not being motivated. I'll be involved in writing some long comic, and then, even though it's fun, I just get caught in other things. A good way to get motivated, and make good writing is to get so bored, it's just something that finally sounds fun. Then you'll begin writing, and sometimes get caught in the enjoyment of it all, and begin unknowingly working at your best.
I also agree with Lynnie's method of comparing the characters of the story to music and TV, and Partymember's method of giving yourself a break from writing.
Another thing I'd like to add is ways to improve writing skills. Brain exercises! I like to take an object, and then describe it in words in such a way that even some one who'd never heard of the objet could get a perfect visual image of it, but not in such a way that you throw in ridiculous details. Or perhaps just some sort of puzzle to stimulate the brain will help.
I hope this helped... somehow...
