It seems like everything and everyone in your life wants to sabotage you.
And it can be anything - a spouse who needs your attention, kids getting ill, friends dropping round, an old habit tempting you, or your own desire to quit and go and do something easier.
Whatever it is, the more you commit to a goal, the more resistance you'll get.
Why?
No one knows.
It's one of the mysteries of life.
So what can you do about it?
There's nothing you can do except get comfortable with it and keep working towards your goal.
Deal with the saboteurs as quickly and efficiently as you can.
Don't ignore things.
Deal with them.
If a friend knocks at the door, answer it and tell them you're busy and you'll catch up when you've finished. Don't ignore the door, or they'll come back and keep knocking.
And don't ignore your writing. Keep going and work on it every day as much as you can. Even two minutes a day is better than missing a day.
If you let these things drag you away from your goal, then you need to ask yourself if you really were committed to it.
How about committing to the challenge of writing 12 books in a year?
Even if you don't make it, you'll have achieved so much.
