Back when I used to live in Wilmington, NC I was part of a writers group and it was a great asset to my writing. If any fellow Little Rockians want to form a group shoot me a message.

Stephen Pressfield in his great book "The War of Art" writes, The amateur, underestimating Resistance's cunning, permits the flu to keep him from chapters; he believes the serpent's voice in his head that says mailing off the manuscript is more important than doing the day's work. The professional has learned better. He respected Resistance. He knows that if he caves in today, no matter how plausible the pretext, he'll be twice likely to cave in tomorrow. The professional knows that Resistance is like a telemarketer; if you so much as say hello, you're finished. The pro doesn't even pick up the phone. He stays at work."
My favorite cure for writer's block is a great idea. Without a mind-warping idea, you either settle for second best or end up dead in the water. When an idea really grabs you by the short hairs, you can't quit. For me, the pleasure of writing comes when I can't wait to get back to it.
