Goodreads asked Joanne Spence:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Joanne Spence Make a schedule and stick to it. For example, I get up at about the same time each day, I make my bed and get 'dressed' for work (even though I work at home). I continue on with my routine as if I were going to a job. Know yourself. I took Facebook off my phone for several months so I couldn't check it as soon as I got up. Instead, I was able to lean into the habit I was creating of writing for two hours before lunch (or whatever time period works for you). Then do it no matter what.
