Goodreads asked Peter Last:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Peter Last The first step to dealing with writer's block is to realize that it isn't actually a thing. The inability to write - commonly referred to as writer's block - may come from a number of factors, but in my experience it is usually caused by a boring part of the story. The best way to handle this situation is to force a path through the boring part. Write the scene. It will probably turn out to be a boring scene, but this will get you to the next part you are interested in, and just like that, the writer's block has been defeated. As to the boring scene, you can come back in editing to delete or modify it.
