Goodreads asked Susan Imhoff Bird:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Susan Imhoff Bird I start pedaling my bike somewhere. or I go snowshoeing. or I drive away. it's all about finding a way to see everything from a different perspective: this frees me from the restriction of familiarity, and, apparently, reorders brain cells and waves. the result is always a fresh observation, an aha, a small slice of experience, or what pam houston calls a "glimmer," a sentence or two that will later unfold into something meaningful.
