When you are blocked you can also take previous work and ask yourself crazy questions about it? What if a mime walked in at this point? What if the heroine emerged from the bathroom wearing groucho glasses and a top hat with a peacock feather in it? Go a little nuts, be silly!

And don't be too afraid of repetition. Danielle Steele and John Grisham have done very well with writing the same book over and over with only the names and hometown changed.
