Goodreads asked Emmy Grayson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Emmy Grayson Tell my husband, Mr. Grayson, I'm struggling and have him give me a very frank pep talk. He's a firefighter, blunt but supportive, and usually motivates me to sit down and crank out pages.

I've also found that setting a timer for 15 minutes and a word goal is really good for helping me gets word on paper. I tell other writers it doesn't have to be perfect on the first draft, that the story will go through multiple revisions, but it's so much easier to say than do!
