Goodreads asked Nat Russo:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nat Russo I've always felt that writer's block is a sign I'm not writing what I should be writing at that moment in time. In 20+ years of writing, I've never gone through a time when I simply couldn't write ANYTHING. I've merely gone through times when I couldn't write what I WANTED to write at that moment.

When I encounter this in a work-in-progress, I've found it helps to skip around. I don't always write in a linear fashion. On occasion, it helps to skip ahead (or go backwards).
