A few things to consider:
Do you have a tumblr (or other blog -- but I suggest tumblr and in a moment I'll get to that).
If no:
I strongly suggest you reconsider. Tumblr is rather easy to use and I'm totally all for helping you. However, this is such a firm suggestion because it's amazing for creative juices. Outside of being an RP connector it also allows you to have certain themes on your dash to inspire you.
If yes:
Search for blogs with themes. Things you may want to look into:
-Fashion
-Environmental
-Musical
-Writing (like quotes, etc)
http://writeworld.org/ is glorious for inspiration and is a blog you can follow on tumblr.Â
The other good thing about tumblr is that several writing prompts often come up through the community. They can be reblogged as tools for people to ask you questions or for you to answer and write.

A really important concept with writing block is that often it is not something that just "goes away." Â More often than not we need to kick ourselves into getting over it. I will listen to piano music in order to try and get into a creative mood. http://www.solopianoradio.com/ is a great link for that. It only plays piano music.
I know people sometimes do timed writing. If your writer's block is really bad you may wish to consider it. You set down a timer. Write everything that comes to your mind, it doesn't matter the context. Example:
You sit down
Set timer for five minutes
You just write for five minutes
Some people do this once daily other every hour. It depends on how much you want to push yourself.
