4. What were the struggles you had to overcome to develop a regular writing habit (e.g. shyness, self-consciousness, poor time management skills, etc...)? How did you do it?
One thing that I've found helps is to set aside a specific time of day or week for and to create associated habits with your writing habit.
Maybe that's writing after you take a shower in the morning or after you brush your teeth - or maybe even after brushing your teeth but before showering. Maybe it's to always eat a specific breakfast before or while you write. If you write better or more willingly while under the influence of something (i.e. caffeine, THC, CBD, alcohol) remember to do that to start a writing sesh. YMMV but any sort of Pavlovian push in the right direction can't hurt, right?
PS: A lot of my examples are morning-centric because many writers report that early morning writing is best for them.[1]
