If I can add something (I didn't notice this thread until now):
Create a cast of supporting characters. A cast that you like. Give them quirks, motivations, interests, and backstories. When you start to lose your muse with your prime, just shift the focus to one of them. Not only will this ensure you remain nearby to your character, but it might also help give you the distance you need to rethink and recenter yourself with them.
Plus, it'll also act to provide your character with a much better mini-world around him, if he's part of a compelling cast of characters.
