When you want to write your novel there are things you can do to smooth out the process. Finding motivation through the day will go a long way toward keeping you on track with the project. Take some basic steps each day toward a goal of a finished product so that you keep making progress.
Writing requires discipline as much as it does enough time to devote to the job. A disciplined approach means approaching the project regularly each day at a certain time. Building the project into the rest of a daily schedule with guaranteed time can put pressure on you to bring a subject and inspiration to the project each day.
With a set time established each day for writing, you can stop worrying about never getting to that story that wants to be told but you never have the time to get on paper. Settle into a routine in a remote corner of home, or even go to a coffee shop early in the day for some alone time, if necessary. Create a routine that you do not waver from when getting ready to write.
You may need a quiet space to concentrate on the level of writing you are trying to produce. Take the time to clean out an office space for a writing corner. You might want a radio or something that can add ambient noise to block out any distractions.
Clutter can be a distraction if allowed to pile up in the space from which you want to work. Make sure the space is clean and free of these offending piles that can take you away from the task at hand. Leave a clean space and keep good writing instruments and paper around, in addition to a free and inviting space for a laptop.
A walk might be just what you need when you are stuck for new ideas or think you are at a loss for ideas. Getting blood flowing and oxygen circulating to your mind can help clear paths of inactivity and may make the mind work on a new level in terms of inspiration. You could find that new ideas flow and you are ready to begin again with your writing.
You can approach the story not from one big master narrative, but rather as work that you segment into chapters, writing each part thoroughly based on your initial outline. This way of approaching a massive task in small bites can be easier to manage and maintain motivation and quality. What happens is you may be surprised going along how far you have come in such a short period.
When you write your novel, you may be surprised at the progression of the work over a period. The winding journey the writing may take is an example of the endless sources of inspiration possible to come across during the process. Work to stay motivated and allow time each day for the story to flow and to tell itself through words.
