Writer's Block is something that every writer experiences. (Yes, even Jo!)

How do you get through this rough time? Do you keep on writing anyway and try to ignore the slump you are in? Do you take a break and hope that some muse will come along and inspire you to write?

What are your inspirations in writing?
