don't worry about it, it will eventually go away. In the mean time, make complete shite.

I think everyone has a bit of writers block from time to time, I know I do. I went for something like 4 months last year without making a single tune, drove me mad. But I carried on with sound design, beat patterns, bit of pseudo-Mastering work for friends to keep me busy, sampling the shit out of everything I could, listening to music/ going for walks in the rain, watching movies etc etc and then one day I started making beats again.

Honestly, don't worry. Find other stuff production wise to keep yourself busy, learn everything you've got inside and out (for example, I can do navigate through FL pretty seamlessly without ever touching my mouse)...in fact do everything you can other than write tunes. It's an organic process, you're creating art not working on a production line.

Don't produce for ages. wait till inspiration really hits you and rinse it out when it does.
