Quickening the Words' Sludgy Pulse

Sometimes, like everyone, I stall.  The words don't come.  I'm stuck - they're stuck - in stodge mode.  And the things that help to unstick me and them are often non-words.

Views - 

Sleeping cats -

Dancers -

How about you?  What non-word things help stir up the sludge and quicken your writing pulse again?
