How do you beat writer's block?

The only way is to write through it. Allow yourself to write crap. Eventually you'll hit on something that will propel you forward.

I always have something new to read or watch, that way I can never run out of ideas of what to write for.

I'm always learning and I think I write preatty more often more and more but will always learn so I don't have many tips yet but there are some here that are useful: write what you really want and for that sometimes for me it takes time to realize. I actually wrote two crime novels that I never wanted published and I had the chance to and I sabotage my self only to learn 6 years later that I wrote for fun but would hate to be an author in that genre.I'm editing and increasing a SCIFI book for two years now and you see how long I'm working on the same thing? because i am loving it, so it took very long time to find out but one day you know exactly what you love and for me this is WAY too different from crimes right? :) as for me it's scifi i go to deviantart and keep inspiring my self with those art masters and look to alien worlds and stuff, you could see pictures related to what you love, and I think deviantart is for you too, actually I was thinking about while surfing and I think it's for ALL writers cause there you have poetry inspiration, sad stuff, scarry stuff, bloody, sweet, colorful art and pictures... watch a video or hear an interview from a writer of your likeing, my story has nothing to do with star wars but I love to hear george lucas sayings, jk tolkien, because I admire them not for the writer they showed to be but for their carachter, seek for writer's quotes and see their tips, they say things that sometimes it's like a slap in my face cause there are things that I already knew and stopped practicing because I forgot I don't wanna trash writting tips websise but they really never helped me watch movies of your genre watch game's cinematic trailer of your genre think about your story all the time, or at least 2 times a day and a new happening will occur...

I know the feeling. It's really frustrating especially if you're under deadline. Eating sweets (usually chocolate) calms me down and helps me re-arrange my mind and mood. Ideas starts to pop up in my mind while munching then my writing will come on easily. I really love chocolates!

Ah! Writer's block is a pretty commmon occurence in my world. I love to write and play music, but sometimes, I just have a really hard time finding the right melody or the right words. The best method I have come up with for beating it (that works for me) is basically just to take a break. Go for a run, a drive, watch tv, exercise, take a hot shower, hang out with friends, anything. Get your mind of the task. After you've had a break, come back to it and try again. If it doesn't work, try starting something new. Sometimes starting something new helps me find ideas for my previous project. Anyways, good luck with your writer's block and I hope you beat it soon!
