Goodreads asked Phyllis T. Smith:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Phyllis T. Smith I belong to two writers’ groups that each meet twice a month. They keep me submitting work on a regular schedule. I find that even if I feel blocked, if I sit down and make myself write, knowing the groups are expecting my work, I can invariably produce something, and when I read it over later, it seems as good as what I write when I feel more inspired. I love this quote from Jane Austen: “I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on till I am.”
