Goodreads asked Dennis Talbot:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Dennis Talbot Because I write in the first person, I am that character! If I’ve written myself into a corner I ask myself in that situation what would I do? I go back to the start, reread what I’ve written and often the tiniest change at some point will give you the out! As above, you are the master, you make the rules. If all else fails shelve the project and write a new story. Then come back afresh in a couple of months and reread and if you still have a problem repeat the process. Never let a dead end worry you. Do something else.
