Just remembered a workshop in Portland where the instructor said 'write the scene you're scared of first'
I was stuck on a story for weeks, but starting with the hard part in a coffee shop that morning totally broke the block. Anyone else have a weird tip that actually works?

Disagree completely, that sounds like a great way to get stuck forever. If a scene is boring, like @jason752 said, forcing yourself to write it first just kills all your momentum. Sometimes you need to build up to the hard part by writing the easy, fun stuff that makes you want to keep going.
