Goodreads asked Cate Lawley:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Cate Lawley I think writer's block is a myth, or rather a broad term that incorporates a variety of stumbling blocks. I do think there are story issues, lack of motivation, depression, and a number of other problems that hamper an author's ability to complete a story.
My advice? Stomp writer's block into the ground (with a pointy stiletto or a combat boot - your choice) and then pinpoint the specific problem that has you stalled. Only then is it possible to apply the right fix.

Hi, I just finish the Goode Witch Matchmaker series and I really liked it. Do you plan to continue the series? Also, there in the epilogue, Glenda was thinking about some previous match not gone well - is there a story that goes with it?
