My writing advice:
1. It's ok to write, it's ok not to write.
2. When actively drafting a project I'll try to write 3 sentences a day on most days. Any day when this happens is a win
3. Bribe myself to write if necessary
4. Remember that the adjustment variable is my health

5. It is not selfish to want to write
6. Try not to postpone the writing to the end of the evening because I will have no energy left then.
7. Sometimes stuff just happens and there's no writing: it's ok.
8. Balls will be dropped. My job is making sure they're not spiky ones

9. Try to recharge with stuff which isn't writing (mine is cooking & fountain pens)
10. Think of time as a sparse resource. In particular, things that save time are sometimes worth shelling out for.

11. Work out what can be split into smaller tasks and done at odd times, piecemeal (I can do this with revision, but not with drafting)
12. Remember there's joy in writing
(that last one is HARD AS NAILS)

Also hiiii if you want to see the book I wrote (dark sapphic retelling of Beauty and the Beast where an impoverished scholar falls in love with a dragon), it's that way!
