Goodreads asked L.R. Rutherford:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

L.R. Rutherford I walk away. I go out with friends, read a novel different from the story I'm trying to write, or I simply switch to something else until inspiration hits.

If I'm not sure what I'm writing is good I place it in a new document and revisit it at a later date. This way if I want to use pieces of it later I can or if I want to look back at my progress this is a great tool for self-motivation.
