Goodreads asked Robert I. Katz:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Robert I. Katz I suppose that I don't really believe in writer's block. Writer's block is much more common to those who regard it as a "calling" rather than a craft or a trade. I've had a few times in the past when I was discouraged, and it's hard to concentrate when you're depressed, but most of the time, when it's time to write, then I sit down and write. Never forget, despite all the effort, the artistry and maybe the genius, you're not likely to change the world. If you can entertain your readers for a few hours, then you've done your job.
