About the writing: unless what you are writing here buys the bread to go into your babies'mouths, it's supposed to be fun. It won't be fun if you're beating yourself over the head about if you've done it or not. Relax!
I'm not a prolific writer by any means, mostly drabbles and other silliness posted very sporadically. I go long periods (well, maybe a week or so - but proportionally to the length of my works that's a long time, right?) without writing. To make things worse, when I'm in a not-writing phase I do lots of reading and commenting; for example for the MEFA's, and find myself reading stuff so gorgeous it makes me want to give up writing completely. Aaargh!
But then someone will come up with a plot bunny or a nuzgul or whatever you want to call it that will tickle my fancy, and off I go. That happy successful fun-writing inspires more; and then nice supportive comments like icing on the cake or unexpected presents and whee! it all starts again. So don't worry about your muses, or your output projections and production schedules. It's supposed to be fun, right? And it will be again.
