I could use some help

We're only in it for the lulz.

Speak for yourself. I'm in it basically for the deniable storage capacity.

I have to admit that I was really surprised to see so many responses!

Thank you all so much!

Yes, it is a matter of discipline but I also think that I need to be okay with working on what intrigues me in the current moment and just be okay with that. I need to remember that this isn't my job, I do it for fun and I need to be okay with that.

The one thing that I do need to do is the one thing that I've always been loathe to do, which is outline. At the very least I need to steal an idea that I read about on here (sorry to not remember who) which is outline each character and their plot points at the end as I write so that it is far easier to return to a story!

Well, sure, but when you post about it on a discussion board, it's something that concerns you.

I don't outline fiction, and I think the more of that you do, the less that the writing is just for fun.
