Writer's block is contagious

If you are writing a book and then you talk to a friend about their book, and they say that they have writer's block you will inevitably get it, too. So, besides being contagious, the words "writer's block" used together, are a swear. Never say them to an aspiring author. Or to an author who has already written books, because anything they are working on will be stumped too. 

So, here are some ways to get rid of the dreaded curse:

1) Listen to music that has things to do with your story, or listen to music that your character would like.

2) Create a scene about what would happen if some of your characters met up with characters from an already published book. 

3) Create a scene where your characters met up with you.

4) Write a profile of your character. (Fav music, books, shows, fav color, etc.)

5) Pay attention to your surroundings at the time the curse sets in. You can draw ideas from clothing, furniture, food, etc.

6) Take one of those computer personality tests as your character.

That's what I've got so far.

NOTE: I write in first person, so these are for first person. If you don't write in first person I'm not sure if these pointers will help.
