Goodreads asked Richard Whitten Barnes:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Richard Whitten Barnes I have two methods. The first, and I suppose it's true for most writers, is to walk away from the story for a day, and return with a fresh outlook.
The method that is best for me is to talk it out. I think better when I verbalize a problem, so the mere act of explaining it to someone else clarifies it to the extent I find my own solution.
I go into this a little more in my blog "Throwing Stones"
