When you left it did you work on something else or just not sit down and write on it for a while? Completely concentrating on something else then going back to it might be what you need.

work out a concept, be it outline, treatment, whatever to have story flow. That way you'll always have it clear how to reach the end.

perhaps script talk? always helps to bounce ideas off someone
Did you get stuck on any of your previous scripts?

Thank you everyone, having re-read my script and having made some changes, things seem to going in the right direction, now i'm not juggling other responsibilities due to co-vid, the writers fog is starting to lift.

I only had writers block once, I think I just burnt my brain out, luckily it came back the next day, glad the fog is lifting, don't overthink just let it flow.

Sometimes the best thing is to do something else for a while and come back to it to help you look at it again fresh. When you do, ask yourself "what do my characters want to do next" in their situation and "which one of them is most likely to act on it first" and the concequences that follow.
