Writers lose momentum and direction while drafting books
Fiction and book writers describe struggling to focus, keep writing, and stay aligned with the premise they started with. Some explicitly ask for external accountability or personalized nudges; another realizes about 2,000 words in that the draft has drifted from its intended direction. The signals don’t name a tool that has solved these problems for them.

I keep trying to reinvent the wheel and it's so frustrating because I get about 2k words in and realise its not what I set out to do
