Take a vacation. No, not you, your character. If you have a plot stop and character stagnation, treat them to a holiday; it's a great way to get reacquainted with them and find out some interesting facets to their personality.

Write
*Bullet* For no more than 5 minutes, imagine a holiday destination appropriate to your story world (ie., pleasure space cruiser, Florida Keys, Darkest Africa, Transylvania etc.,). Once you can picture the spot, pick up your pen.
*Bullet* Bump into your character as if you were a regular tourist like them. Have a chat DIALOGUE only. Write for as long, or as little as you like, and then review the conversation for points of interest.
