Trying to write on an empty...head?

Not the best idea to write when you don't actually have any ideas in your head.
Oh gee whiz let me finish up the prologue right NOW. I don't know what to write, but I guess staring at the screen for thirty minutes or so might definitely help.
Go home brain, you're drunk.


A good way to spend those thirty minutes can be seen listed below:
1) Watch an episode of parks and recreation (love that show)
2) Read a book
3) Pushups
4) Situps
5) Actually do some study for university
6) This list could go on forever so for numbers 6-1000 do whatever the hell takes your fancy.

A better way to spend those 30 minutes to help your struggle with writing the next 1000 words?
Perhaps you could develop one of the characters? Even make a character profile for each and every character in the novel. Their hobbies, their skills, their bad side, their good side, the reason behind them stealing the governor's boat and cruising off into the sunset? (Last one was a tad plot specific).
Or what you could do is work on another idea you've got whirring around in your head. If you've hit a dead-end with one of your stories for the time being, it doesn't mean you'll be at a dead-end for all your story ideas.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now. Back to staring at the screen for me...(because I'm watching an episode of parks and recreation, aka god's gift to humanity).
