We should plan to get together or do a FaceTime/Zoom call to discuss strategies. One think I had to do when working on Alarm Clock Dawn was scheduling writing times as I would an appointment. I always would silence my phone and disconnect the laptop from Wifi so there were no temptations to hop online or be interrupted by messages. The key, once you sit down is limiting interruption, it takes around 15-20 minutes to refocus once you've been derailed. I'm about to jump into another novel myself this year. I feel like I'm heading off to boot camp again. : )
