i am sure i am not the only one who has been through this, but i wondered what you do when you hit the creative brick wall?

any ideas, suggestions, or just personal experiences/frustrations with writer's block?
Few things I do:

1.) Take a break.
2.) Work on completely different sounds/styles and just **** around. It's fun, you'll stumble on somehting, and a track will praactically write itself sometimes giving you a hint that it's somehting you might want to make more.
3.) Change your routine. If you find yourself usually working on tracks at a general time, try it during another. Different sounds/inspiration seems to happen for me when I've first woken up, when I've gotten home from work, or if I wake up at an odd wee hour and can't fall back asleep. Honestly, I think this has been more successful for breaking out of blocks than anything for me recently.
