Stephen Goldenberg
I'm very lucky because I've never suffered from it. Mainly it's because I've never had to write to deadlines and so I take my time - on average my novels have taken me 2-3 years to complete.
I always find that, if I'm not sure where a story is going or how I'm going to end it, I just take a break or go back and do some rewriting and, by the time I come back to it, I have plenty of ideas.
I also find that, if I've created real living characters, they will often tel me where their story is going next or, sometimes, they tell me that my plans for where their story is going doesn't work for them.
