Goodreads asked James Barclay:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

James Barclay I actually don't believe in writer's block. I believe in sloth and a lack of desire to write at any given moment but not something that stops me writing. If I feel I'm stuck in a scene or a description or whatever, I walk away from it (sometimes literally) and do something else. Going back to the issue later tends to give me a fresh perspective. What I never do is stress about it. Life is too short for such nonsense.
