Goodreads asked Mary Carter:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mary Carter I teach a creative writing workshop. Very ironic, tonight is the class on writer's block. There are a lot of techniques to shake you out of it. The most important one is to allow your early drafts to be messy. Trying to get it perfect on the first draft will only create a block. You have to make mistakes. The great news is-- all mistakes can be fixed.
