Goodreads asked C. Evenfall:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

C. Evenfall Writer's block is a serious condition, but does not have to be terminal.
The absolute worse thing one can do is stress about the block because at that point, you are no longer thinking about your story, but you are worried about "why" the creative flow is interrupted.
I find that to combat it, I absolutely must step away from it for a while. There is nothing worse than staring blindly at a computer screen waiting for some great idea to manifest.
I find that if I treat moments of writer's block like crossroads, opportunities to make choices that will affect the outcome of my novel, I can overcome these "blank" moments and develop great ideas.
