Goodreads asked Mark Eisenzimmer:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mark Eisenzimmer I tend to do what Hemingway suggested: start a new chapter (or a new scene) and then stop. Then, the next day, I edit what I wrote the day previous and carry on with the new chapter or scene.
If something drags me away from writing for a few days, then it's harder to re-start, but I basically do the same thing; it just takes me longer to get back into the flow of what was happening in my story.
