Goodreads asked Carmela Dutra:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Carmela Dutra It's not always easy. As a matter of fact I am still stuck on one story, I have been for a while now! When it hits I do one of a few things. 1. talk it out with my sisters. 2. Set it down and walk away and come back. Either within a few hours or a few days. 3. I'll an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

If all else I just have to let it be until something sparks in me to start up again.
