Set your work aside for a week or a month or two then come back and read what you got down the ideas will come. I am in a writers block right now I haven’t put down a word in three month.

Get away from the story for a bit and do a bit of background writing ... just go on a tangent. It will let you know more about your character.

Write anything even if you start by writing, "I can't think of anything to write..." Try the NANOWRIMO approach by not bothering with a plot. Just write anything that comes to your head. Plotting will come later. The irony of writer’s block is that the only cure for it is to write.

Just get into the practice of writing things down when that flash of brilliance hits you.
