Hello, Fastlaners! Do you consider yourself helpful?

I joined this forum a few years back, avidly following in the footsteps of @HeldforRansom and @ChickenHawk. I've written a few books since then (27 novels, to be exact), some self-published, some as a ghostwriter, and I still follow discussions everywhere about best practices for indie writers closely.

Along the way, I've had many questions, both here and elsewhere, about how I get so much writing done in the few hours a day I spend writing. So, I'm now researching in preparation for creating an online course about writing productivity. There's a whole lot more to come, including coaching and an expansion for at-home entrepreneurs and solopreneurs who aren't writers, but starting with the industry I know seems like the way to go.

I have one question for you, and if you self-identify something that fits with my project, I'd love to invite you to talk with me for half an hour, to say more, to get some help with the most pressing item, and for me to clarify what to put into a small pilot course. Are you game?

Then here's the question: What keeps you from writing as much as you want to every day?

I haven't made it a poll, because I don't want to put words in your mouth. I want to hear your words, and I want you to be able to say as much as you want. So, please answer in comments, and thanks for participating!

If we talk, I'll do my best to help you with your most pressing issue as a thanks for helping with my research. All conversations are confidential.
