The thing that's worked for me has been stepping back from that project and taking on a "fun" project for a few hours (or...weeks...) instead!
I ALWAYS have writer's block right at the end of a book (#adhdproblems, sigh) and an immense amount of trouble writing the final chapter/scene of anything. Most recently, with Edokko, I took a week off of the final scene and worked instead on a flash fiction contest entry (which actually won! oooh) and then on a funny contemporary short fiction. When I came back to Edokko the following week, I felt like I'd just accomplished a bunch of things creativity-wise, and it really re-energized me!
