So, I've been having troubles writing for the past 5 years and I really want to get back into it. Do you have any kind of suggestion or advice?

Set aside time to write that’s only writing time. Put away your phone. Turn off or disable your wifi. Write in longhand. Put up a do not disturb sign. And make your writing time sacred and inviolable.

And in that time, this is the deal. You can write, or you can not do anything. Not doing anything is allowed.

If you are writing for fun, and if you don’t want any help, please write any way that works for you. I am not trying to convert you to writing with a plan.
