Passion.
"Passion is the genesis of genius."The surprising thing is, though, that you don't have to necessarily be passionate about your particular manuscript. You just need to have a strong feeling about something. Anything, really. Emotions are timeless and universal. They'll work in any genre and/or setting.
~ Tony Robbins
Words flow the fastest from my fingertips when I'm hyper-emotional, either negatively or positively. When strong feelings roil, the human psyche ignites, which usually results in a doggone fantastic word count for the day.
Now I'm not suggesting that if you're experiencing writer's block you go pick a fight to work up some passion. But it wouldn't hurt to whip out your laptop next time you're hyped. Even simply jotting down a few words about your feelings will be a kick-starter next time you get stuck.

Great advice. Although if you start typing while all hyped angrily, I'd suggest going over those words once you've calmed down. You may need to use that backspace key a bit. Hehehe
It does make sense that writing would flow better while being emotionally hyped. Here's praying that you never get writer's block, Michelle. But if you do, may God get you hyped up about something to get your thoughts flowing once again.
Hugs and God bless!
You're right...the writing might not all be stellar (as in the case of being angry), but it will be proficient!
And thanks for your blessing!
