"Set a quota. Give yourself a word count and stick to it every day you have any time to write, don't vary it and don't make excuses. It's mechanical, but you're building something — there has to be a mechanical, slightly plodding aspect to the work or it won't get done. Make the quota low, so you don't beat yourself up when you can't reach it, and that way you get to feel on top of the world when you exceed it. Filling up the empty space of the screen or the page each day rather than waiting until the moment is right will lead to more 'right' moments."
