I also agree that writer's block can be overcome often by forcing yourself to write. The ideas can come, even when they seem like they won't, but they won't come if you don't sit down to write.
Write ANYTHING when you feel like you have writer's block--even just a recounting of your day. Describe things you did and your interactions with other people in great detail. Then make up some crazy incident in the middle of it.

Boring writing is often the result of too much summary and not enough scene. Show your reader what your character's are doing, don't explain.
