Writer's block is one thing. Inability to create novelty is another.
Looks like this inability seems to plague the best of writers.
What can be the solution? At least, I didn't think the solution offered at the end of the article was quite effective. If we were to stop reading authors because they 'might' end up becoming repetitive, then we may not know what we missed!
One Indian author who has surprised me every time he wrote a book is Upamanyu Chatterjee.
I had written about 'Weight Loss', one of his novels, here.
I wish he would write more.
