I suffered from writer's block for about 2 years and only recently started to break through it. Oddly enough it was a website that I found through facebook that helped me:

If anyone else has any tips for breaking through writer's block, please post them here.

Not exactly a tip, so much as a quote,

William Gibson:

Q Creator's block. If ever: how long, when/why it happened; or how was it avoided, palliated?

A "Creator's block" sounds like something afflicting a divinity, but writer's block is my default setting. Its opposite is miraculous. The process of learning to write fiction, for me, was one of learning to almost continually be doing it *through* the block, in spite of the block, the block becoming the accustomed place from which to work. Our traditional cultural models of creativity tend to involve the wrong sort of heroism, for me. "It sprang whole and perfect from my brow" as opposed to "I saw it mispelled, in mauve Krylon, on the side of a dumpster, and it haunted me". I was much encouraged, when I began to write, by Manny Farber's idea of "termite art".
At my favorite site, Second Chances
We celebrate all Lumi's glances
Whether longing and sweet
Or of passion and heat
It's the greatest of all romances!
