Goodreads asked Jeff McIntyre:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jeff McIntyre I'm a planner. I start with an outline before I write much of the story. But even if the outline isn't 100% (they never are), I'll write a chapter that inspires me. I also don't write the outline linearly. If I just wrote chapter 5 but I'm not feeling chapter 6; I'll find a chapter that does inspire me and write that. I can always blend things back together after the first draft is done. If I don't feel like writing at all, I may just play around with the outline.
