ooo, I have some tips I've collected from various sources on writers block.

Take a break. This could be go for a walk, go take a shower (yes, showers can help and do when I'm stuck), go for a drive, exercise, dance, anything to cause enough of a distraction but that you can still think about the story.

Change method of writing. If writing by hand then try typing if a computer is available and vice versa. Sometimes when I'm stuck I get out a notepad and do a free write involving the story by hand. Or change font type, font color, anything. Have fun with writing.

Change something in the story. Skip to a different sections, make a note of what you might want there then move on if you can. Or, change point of view. Maybe that scene needs to be seen from a different character in order to see where it should go to next.

Hope any of those help.
