Goodreads asked Jack Rollins:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jack Rollins I leave my notebooks out where I can see them, as though they are goading me to write something. Then I read, I relax, I unwind. I do anything but write. Some authors will tell you you have to write every day, good for them. Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone who really had nothing to say? That's what they must be writing half the time. I enjoy things and right then, when I'm not even thinking about it, an idea just pops into place, and my pen gets moving again.
