Do you mean that you have the ideas but just cant put them in words?  When that happens to me, I take a ten minute break and watch t.v. or get a snack or something.  Then, without looking at what I have written so far, I pretend that I am trying to tell my ideas to a friend.  I end up saying them in a way that sounds pretty good.
