You are not writing a history, where you are obliged to fill in the details of all the day, months, and years that pass. You are writing a story. You are obliged to write only those incidents that build the arc of the story. If nothing happens that builds the arc of the story for a day, a month, a year, a decade, or a century, then don't write anything about that time. Pick up the story when the events of the story arc resume.
