Goodreads asked Heather M. Herrman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Heather M. Herrman I try to write through it. There are a lot of authors who don't think writer's block is a real thing. I'm not one of them. What I do think it is, however, is a confidence issue. When we get scared that what we're writing isn't good enough, we tend to self-sabotage by "not having ideas." I think what we really mean by this is that the ideas we're having don't seem like the right ones, or good enough, and in the end that's just a road block we're throwing up for ourselves. So even if I think what I'm writing stinks, I write anyway. And maybe it does stink. Or maybe it doesn't. But pushing through is the only way to find out.
