How about putting your phone away from where you are writing so you won't be tempted.

All your chapters should answer who, what, how, when, why....

Do a weekend writing marathon for 48 hours of writing. 

Keep a notebook close by your bed and in your car or purse...

Listen to writing podcasts daily. You'll learn something on most. 

Identify where your writing is weak and spend time studying on it. 

Find your creative hours.

Write from the heart. Draw from your own past emotions. 

It's OK to be a novice for a while. Learn while at it. 

Be discipline and follow your daily writing schedule not matter what. 

Go forward and write!!!!
