Writer's block is usually the result of one of two things: something wrong with the plot or fatigue.
Fatigue is the result of having your nose to the grindstone. Take some time off. Clean the house (ugh), go shopping, have a lunch with friends. You will return refreshed and ready to go again.
Something wrong with the plot is worse. Follow the dsirections for fatigue first. Then read the last two or three chapters and see if you haven't gone off track somewhere. I think you'll find that you have.
Now I see that the question is how I deal with writer's block. I do the above, except for cleaning the house. :-)
