Goodreads asked Tami Hoag:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Tami Hoag The occasional "I feel stuck" writer's block generally needs a good swift kick in the pants. I need to get up and move around, and brainstorm on my white board. Sometimes I need to take a break and let my subconscious mind work through the problem while I ride a horse or go a few rounds punching the heavy bag. True, paralyzing pathological writer's block is the worst thing any writer will ever suffer. That's an absolute loss of faith in one's ability to accomplish the task at hand, and that is the deepest, darkest hole you will ever have to claw your way out of.
