Goodreads asked Philip J. Dennis:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Philip J. Dennis Talk it out with someone. For me it's my wife. An outside point of view is always a good way of getting a fresh perspective. Also, go for walks. Leave any headphones in the house, for me that is always a distraction. Though, listening to things like podcasts do help. Other people's conversations can trigger something for you. Also, simple interaction with people can help give a spark of an idea.
For example, I was playing Grand Theft Auto with friends the other week and a funny conversation have me an idea for a whole segment for the story I'm currently building.
