Coco Mingolelli
The easy answer would be chainsmoking -- yes, I'm aware that it's bad for your health, and I don't recommend it -- and a pot of coffee.
But, writer's blocks happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, the only thing I can do is take a "walk with the character" giving me trouble -- a hike through nature as I have a mental conversation with "them."
If it's plot giving me an issue, I try to take a break from writing that particular story, for a few days. Other creative writing such as poetry fills the time, and I come back to the page fresh and ready.
