It has happened...not like I wasn't expecting it to

This is not good, people. Not good at all.
Do any of ya'll know how, after you've written a story for so long, you get that feeling that nothing seems to work anymore and you run out of things to happen, or you get stuck on one scene in your story and you can't move on until you finish it? Or maybe you just lose inspiration.
That has happened to me.
:(
Basically, I've just lost the HUZZAH! I felt for my NaNo earlier. And I don't know how to get it back. I don't like what I'm writing.
Any suggestions?

I get stuck on scenes a lot, and in the past its caused me to stop writing for long periods, until I had some sort of breakthrough or found the inspiration I needed. But that won't do this month, so I'm determined to just set aside scenes I get stuck on, and move ahead. I had to do that with my prologue on Saturday, or else I never would've kept going! I went back to it later that day and finished it. It felt liberating to just say, "Screw you, Prologue! I'll come back to write you when you want to be written! I'm gonna hang out with Chapter One until then." It's like taking back the power. Try it!
