Overcoming Writer's Block
Write the bits you enjoy first
You enjoy writing the action, the environment the introspection? Go for it! Get that gold written down.
I really enjoy writing dialogue, my draft chapters read like a play with the thoughts and descriptive sections added in later.
Skip ahead to the parts of the story that excite you
Stuck on a transition chapter? Skip ahead to one of the dramatic/fluffy/nsfw parts of the story that you have been head-cannoning about from the start. Not only will it keep you writing, it may remind you to include any foreshadowing you had in mind for earlier chapters and when you eventually get to your pre-drafted chapter you will love your past self when it's already half written.
Get in the right frame of mind
Put your playlist on, spend time visualising, look at the picture or prompt that inspired you. Whatever drives your muse reconnect with it and begin jotting your ideas down once more
Sometimes a cup of tea will do it, other times you need a day. On occasion I've taken a week or more off just to breathe and recharge the batteries.
Look after yourself first.
It can be hard if you have frequent commentors or people really eagerly following your story, the pressure whether self inflicted or from external influences is real. But everyone else can wait. You write for you first, when and if you decide to share your work rest assured we'll all still be here cheering you on.
