#2Yes, you need to just find the time to write and get on with it.
For example I am sitting here on a Saturday evening writing an article on my laptop (as well as occasionally browsing the net!). I could be watching TV or playing computer games or something else, but I am writing.
You need to dedicate time to write, and once you start you will find it easier and easier, and generally quicker and quicker to write. As Nike used to say, Just Do It.

Anyone can think of 100 excuses to not push forward, but in the end, we all have problems, failures, and setbacks, and a lot of life is about silencing our own excuses, fucking figuring it out, and plowing ahead.

No need for sarcasm. I was just making the point that getting something done requires commitment and often sacrifice.
