At the moment I am turning up to writing hours consistently and getting some stuff done. But outside of that not a lot is happening. I have started trying sitting at the desk in the office rather than the kitchen table, but it isn't consistent enough. I am feeling frustrated because I have started and and persisting but not moving on, if that makes sense? I don't think it is motivation that is the problem for me, it is prioritisation above all the other calls on my time.
I keep meaning to try writing hours, but never seem to fit in with when I'm likely to be writing, so now trying to create my own. I get what you mean about prioritisation - if you were more motivated though, would you prioritise it more? And what would need to change in order for it to become a priority?
Ah yes, I've been there - putting it in a box as a 'hobby' and therefore not as important as other things. What have you found helpful in starting that shift in mindset?

It’s my mindset, thinking that I am a writer that is the biggest challenge and it is shifting slowly.
