Break Writer’s Block
There are a few reasons why one might get "stuck" in a current
writing project.
7. You have bigger concerns right now. 
Certain conditions usurp the physiology and/or subconscious. Do not expect
too much from yourself if you or a loved one are experiencing anything like
illness, injury, job or financial loss, heartache, bereavement, disaster,
pregnancy, or menopause. (Hopeful thought if you need it: post-
menopause, you'll be a better writer than ever.)
On the other hand, it is possible to use writing as an emotional recovery
mechanism. See the Imagined Dreams Method.
