I enjoy reading these types of posts most. I guess I like reading about the process of writing because I can relate to it. I think I like reading about the struggles and successes because of what I think I can learn from them. I agree that the most important thing to do is to write consistently. For myself, I find that to publish once a week, I need to think about and start writing almost immediately after finishing a post. In other words, there is very little downtime, just a couple of days, of not thinking about a topic or writing something. And if I don’t follow this schedule, then the well seems to dry up a bit and it’s much harder to start writing again. So, in other words, never stop writing 😉
In September I tried to do a game design a day based on the top NPR headline. There was similarly something to the daily "just do it" that was necessary to make each day successful.
I stopped mainly because some days it took me hours, and I didn't have the capacity for that kind of time commitment, but it was exhilarating and eye-opening (I learned a lot about my tendencies).

Bravo, my friend! You sound ready go forth and conquer (burrs and all).
