Recently I caused a roar of laughter when I joked that, because I am fallible, I should get a pet dog so we could take our pills together.
As for the wisdom of real writers that I should write regularly in the morning through self discipline, I have a hack of being in weekly and fortnightly writer criticism groups (or "critique" for delicate ears) that force me to pound out the same number of words as if I had a regular writing practice.
Arriving early at the groups allows me the hack of regularly polishing my walking shoes, off in the basement.
If it's that hard to live the advice of others, then I'd better not give advice to myself.
