I find it fascinating to see the radical differences in our (probably personality driven) approaches to this sort of writing. The trouble with me is I can't not write fiction. Aside from an (extremely unsettling) blip between April and December of 2020, the voices in my head demanding to be put on paper have remained unrelenting. I don't have a choice, which is why, for my own sanity, I structure my writing year in such a way as to try and soothe this affliction by writing very intensely early in the year (winter months), which normally means I get one novel per year minimum. I've found that writing short stories in the remainder of the year keeps the voices calm, whilst in the back end of the year, I do all the planning for the next novel in the winter months of the following year. All that said, in some years, I occasionally write a second novel, which can throw a spanner in the works.

I think I have the opposite problem to you: I have to intentionally schedule time to spend time with wife, children, going out on walks, getting jobs done around the house, gardening, and so forth (cinema and reading fiction doesn't count, as that's also an obsessive switch I cannot turn off). My wife thinks I am an exceptionally unreasonable boss to myself, and she's right.

Needless to say, I wish you all the very best with your writing endeavours this month.
