Goodreads asked Justin Bauer:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Justin Bauer Writer's block only exists for me when I have no story. That moment when a book has just been published and I start to think of what's next... that's when I'll get low. I have to still believe in an idea beyond a period of time to determine whether it's actually worth seeing through, or if I were excited because I'm desperate. It's during the plot outlining that I'll be stumped with where to take an idea. I don't have some magical answer beyond indulgence in the craft, a willingness to fail, and an eagerness to discard ideas you once loved.
