Goodreads asked Anne Marie Bennett:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Anne Marie Bennett I'm not sure I really believe in "writer's block." I believe that there are times when the creativity isn't flowing, and I have learned to accept that just as it is. I know that the non-flow times are just as important as the flowing times and that it's all part of the creative process. For me, it's helpful to commit to a minimum of one hour a day, three times a week, for what I call my Writing Practice. And it's just that... sitting down at my laptop and writing whatever flows out, even if it's "junk." The most powerful thing for me is the commitment, and the showing up.
