Goodreads asked Josh Langston:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Josh Langston I don't believe I've ever experienced "writer's block." However, I have experienced days when I didn't feel like writing for any of a number of reasons. I wrote anyway. I've experienced days when I didn't like what I was working on and wished to God I had chosen a better project. I wrote anyway. There have been days when I couldn't imagine how in hell I'd get my character out of the jam I'd written him (or her) into. I wrote anyway.

Sometimes what I writes stinks so bad I have to throw it away. Sometimes it doesn't stink, but it doesn't work for the project it's in. The former gets tossed in the pooper; the latter goes into a special file for stuff I might use elsewhere/later/maybe never.

And, of course, there's always bourbon.
