Goodreads asked Robert Eric Shoemaker:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Robert Eric Shoemaker The way around writer's block, for me, is to read or freewrite. When I read, when I encounter a new text, I'm more likely to have an idea about my own text freed up in my mind. When I freewrite, just let the words flow in a stream-of-consciousness, I can write through a block, as well as generate new material.
