Goodreads asked Autumn Reinhardt-Simpson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Autumn Reinhardt-Simpson I know you will probably throw something at me for saying this but the answer is...write. People are so obsessed with writing the "right" things and in the "right" way that they often just find themselves staring at a blank page. Just write. Stream of consciousness, if you must. But write. Something will jump out at you.

I think another problem we often have is that we assume we don't have anything new or interesting to say about something. We think everything has been written. So, if you're in that place, grab a book on the topic about which you want to write. Then look for all the places you disagree. Look for places where you absolutely agree but think the author didn't go far enough. There. Now you can write something about it.
