Goodreads asked Gretchen Rix:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Gretchen Rix I don't believe in writer's block. Any extended period of time I've not written has been by choice. Anyone can carve out fifteen minutes (often longer) to write each day. And if you can't think of anything to write, do a free association exercise. It might turn into a short story for you. Other advice when you feel stymied: take a walk, take a bath, drive around in the car. It's amazing what ideas come to you when you're unable to take those notes.
