There are different kinds of writer's block. Sometimes I just can't see the path to the end of the book. Very recently, I had a looming a deadline that stressed me out to the point I couldn't write for a while. Life's various crises often get in the way, which happens A LOT.
There's really only one cure for all of these psychological road blocks, and that is time and distraction. I step away from the WIP and do something else. Read. Do karate. Go for a long walk. Do anything but force ideas through my head. Usually inspiration will strike again when I'm doing the most mundane things, and I'm off and running again. Works every time.
