Goodreads asked Patrick Moore:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Patrick Moore When I'm struggling with writer's block, I find that taking a break from my writing and reading can be really helpful. Reading helps me to relax and clear my mind, and it can also inspire me with new ideas and perspectives. Sometimes, I'll read something in a completely different genre or style than what I'm working on, which can help me to see my own writing in a new light. I also find that going for a walk or doing something creative, like drawing or painting, can help to get my creative juices flowing again. The key for me is to take a step away from my writing and give myself permission to take a break, even if it's just for a short time. When I come back to my writing, I usually feel refreshed and ready to dive back in.
