I take it you're attempting to write a novel or something?

Take a break. Your brain is probably asking for some time out.

take a break, but don't take a break from writing all together. I would suggest to start reading a lot of stuff for fun, just to help get the juices flowing again, and that you do not stop writing- just write something else. Whatever. Journal entries. Pretend you work for a newspaper. Describe your surroundings. That way, you're not tempted to just quit on it all together, and you don't get out of the habit of writing, AND, additionally, just writing and writing and writing may help you over come the block.

when it starts getting too hard to write just slow down on it. if you dont want to take a break entirely, keep writing little bits and work your way through it. I usually try and work through my writer's block and it usually works, just dot be too hard on yourself.

At the risk of beating a dead horse...Most of my ideas have come to me whilst doing things completely unrelated to writing. Go get pished.

Phillip Pullman doesn't believe in writer's block. He says write something/anything everyday, then you won't get writer's block

If Philip Pullman says so then it must be true!
