My very sage advice is ....
Give yourself just 1 hour a day, every day to write out your ideas. Even if you fill an exercise book of doodling drawings - I have heaps of eyes peering back from my pages just because I'm commenting on a bot of character.
AND NEVER THROW ANYTHING OUT! Just because when you start to flesh out ideas and they begin to change and develop, doesn't mean that earlier thoughts are unnessecary to keep.
ONE HOUR PER DAY - on a bus, lying in bed, waking up a little earlier, eating, and gosh should I dare suggest it..... stop fishing and write!!!
