Goodreads asked Evan Shapiro:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Evan Shapiro Usually I make another cup of coffee, put some cloths away, clean the kitchen or if it's really extreme meditate. Then if it's just not flowing I stop for that session and leave it until next time. I have three mornings a week set aside for writing. If it doesn't flow in that time I'm not hard on myself. There are days when all I construct is a sentence and other days when it's pages. Having the routine is really important to me and I go back to it regardless of what I achieved in the last session.
