1) Free Write

One of the best ways to get your creative juices moving again is to write–about anything. It doesn’t even have to be good. Just sit down, pen in hand, and let the ideas flow. A great way to do this is by using “free association.” Psychologists sometimes use this exercise with their patients to determine the subconscious cause of a problem. It can be similarly used by writers to understand the basis of their writer’s block or just to generate ideas.

This one, in particular, is what Writer.app is all about. It’s the tool for getting you to think forward about your story, and not worry so much about what it is you’re writing. Just get something down, don’t interrupt your flow with the mental editor kicking in every couple seconds.
