A. First thing - don't let the slump depress you. It'll only keep you in the slump.
B. Look at why you don't want to write. Do you not like the scene you are in? Then put a placeholder and skip it like Scott said. Is it a character giving you issues? Make them leave the scene somehow.
C. Sometimes, pressuring yourself to write so much so early on, while it's good on getting you ahead early on, can also drain your batteries dry. Take a day or two away and just write however much you can, and go watch TV or read a book or dance around your place in your underwear to your favorite cd. Something to get your mind OFF the NaNo for a bit, so you can come back to it refreshed.
