Goodreads asked Erich Krauss:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Erich Krauss Not very well. As a professional kickboxer, I've always seen writer's block as my adversary. When it steps up, I attack it head-on, sometimes sitting at my computer for ten hours without writing anything of merit, then fall into bed knowing I got my butt kicked. But during that frustrating battle, there's always some takeaway. I usually wake up the following morning, look at the nonsense that I wrote, and find at least a morsel or two that I can build off of. I'm sure there's a better way, but it's just how I'm wired, and I feel I need to go through those hard-fought battles from time to time to get to something good.
