Goodreads asked Jason Stoneking:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jason Stoneking I've dealt with it in many different ways over the years and found that hardly anything keeps working for long. I think the key is to shake things up. If you're sober and getting up early and have writer's block, then get loaded and start writing at night. If you're comfortable and well-fed and have writer's block, then quit your job and go live on the street for a while. If you're strung out on drugs, living on the street, and you have writer's block, then clean up and move inside for a while. If you stay in one place and have writer's block, then start moving. If you move all the time and have writer's block then stay put for a few months. Just break up your routine. Challenge your preconceptions. Eliminate your dependency on any familiar perspective. Knock yourself off balance and make your instincts kick in.
