This isn't a weird ritual, so I'm breaking the rules a bit, but I have decent advice for beating writers block for anyone interested.
Let go of caring how things are worded, spelling, grammar, bad ideas, everything. Just continue the story. It's harder said than done, but it works - I believe. Just imagine, and write what you imagine.
Then go back when you've had time away from it and start cutting out the boring parts, the things that don't fit. After that it's up to you. What you edit, rearrange.
I'm taking that from Stephen King's famous advice, 'kill your darlings.'
