Fantasy Delta Green ~One Last Night At The Opera~ OOC

Nogood, if you ever have trouble writing, what do you usually do to get your muse back?

I find that playing soothing music helps.
Music is definitely my number one motivator, the problem usually comes in finding the right music for what I'm writing. It's different for every character that's why most of my chars have a them, it's what I was listening to when I wrote them.
For me though I honestly just skip ahead to a scene I REALLY want to write, then work my way backwords through the filler. Not the most elegant, but it works for me.

Hmm, that might work for me but usually I just write a character first before finding a theme for them.
 
I find a theme really helps me get into the mood for the character, and then I can kind of just write their info out while being in character.

While I just play some music that calms me down, it relaxes my nerves a bit. If its music that's loud or aggressive, I find it hard to write because I'm so distracted.

Ah, dunno if this'll work for you then, for me the aggressive music helps me write an aggressive character, gets me right into the mood for it.
 
Guess I'm more of a softy then...
I doubt that, it's just that we operate differently, maybe you need something else to get you into the mood, have you tried method acting? I remember a friend of mine was playing a hard boiled detective type char in a D&D campaign I was in and before every session he downed a cup of black coffee to get into character.
