I've never had writer's block, but I'm fermenting a pet theory that it might have to do with the characters not wanting to do what you're trying to force them into. You go to all the trouble of creating interesting, fully formed characters, so it's no surprise if they suddenly refuse the bridle of the plot.
If you can't believe your character would take certain action, the audience won't either so if you're stuck, try giving your feisty characters their head and seeing which direction they run in.

Hello, Would you consider Lovecraft to be an influence on your work? From what I have observed so far, many of your themes strike me as cosmic in nature. If so, would you consider your writings to be as cynical as the philosophy of Cosmicism? As you have listed House of Leaves as an influence, do you consider that novel to have cosmic horror implications about the universe and mankind?
