If it's a between-book slump, I usually work on other forms of writing (essays, poetry, writing make-believe with my children) until I'm ready to write a book again. If it's a mid-book slump, I've found a few tricks for getting started again: 1) I re-read what I've written already, to get "back in the groove" or 2) I check the scene(s) I'm writing to make sure I'm writing them in the right POV, and sometimes have to switch into the opposite character's head to make the scene "click", and 3) I change situation, get outside, go skating or exercise, whatever I need to clear my head again.
