Goodreads asked Lillian I. Wolfe:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lillian I. Wolfe I have two tricks for getting past writer's block that seem to work well for me. If I am stuck on one scene or section of the novel, then I pick a scene further down the line and begin writing on that one. Usually, this works and the preceding scene fills in.
The other thing I do is to switch from typing to pen and paper. Often when I'm working on the keyboard, there is a more business-like approach in my brain. The simple act of changing to a pen seems to "switch" on the more creative side of my brain.
If both of those fail, it's time for a break. I play a game, do something fun or go out to dinner. Or it is past the time to get some sleep and let the brain work on the problem while I sleep.
