I think the most difficult part is to keep writing every day. Some times I just don't want to write. I get a really good idea brewing in my head but I don't follow through by putting it down on paper. Or my mind wanders into unknown spaces. I can come up with a lot of excuses why not to do something.
Or I'll think that I need to work it through some more in my mind. Half the time, I'll work it out in my head and then by the time I really do sit down to write it out, I will have forgotten some of the really good lines I had thought up.
Setting up a schedule or a work time to sit down and write does not always work for me. When I am sitting at the computer, I need to really focus and decide to get my stories down. Poetry is a lot easier to handle. When I have an idea or emotions for a poem, I can sit down and get it out within 5 or 10 minutes.
It isn't that easy when you are working on a book. Other times, I will be afraid and wonder, is this all making sense? Is this the way it should go? Or I'll just feel uncomfortable about what I am writing. Usually it will work itself out in the end. But you need to stick to some sort of schedule and just keep writing.
