I do have a good method for defeating writer's block, but it does require commitment to the story.
What you do is this. Take a trip to Paris, and descend deep into the Catacombs. Search for the tomb of the fabled magician Francois Le Chatelier, and prise open the top with a crowbar. Remove the urn within, taking care not to spill the ashes contained therein. Take those ashes to the great stone ring on Salisbury Plain and spill them onto the altar as the sun strikes the top of the tallest stone on the morning of the summer solstice, and recite the Great Words of Alsace. Then speak to the thing that arises from the stone. Take care to be very polite, but ask of it any questions you wish. However, make sure that you have dismissed it by noontide, or the creature will plague you and your land for one hundred and thirteen years, bringing darkness and pestilence in its wake.
By that time, you should have taken a long break from your story, and when you come back to it you will have a fresh mind for it, and the story will flow naturally.
