Amusingly it turns out that it's a common problem. I get *way* too focused on the world building and it holds me back from just writing instead.

Eh, the lecture was by Brando Sando, a guy who pumps out three to four books a year. He along with the dude who writes Russian Caravan are built different. Not like us puny mortals who drop fics all the time.

The advice is solid and let me pick up on one of my big weak points, so ymmv.

It's helpful but being able to sit at a spot and work till the chapter is done is also a unique skill which is pretty rare.

He does mention that there's no one right way to do things, and a number of times he gives what he does/is able to do as an example of one of those ways.

And while I certainly am capable of sitting in one spot and just writing until I'm done, I lack the ability to do so because I've got other things eating away at my time. Like work. Where I tend to write out a lot of my ideas and find myself wishing for a computer to work with.

Yeah, a good computer is absolutely necessary for writing. Writing on phone is so tiresome, I don't know how fakeking does it.
