I've had this idea to write a book. I've revisited and reworked it for months until I finally had a concrete idea in my mind. I have the plot and ideas outline written down and I know what I have to write.
I. JUST. CAN'T. GET. DOWN. TO. WRITING. IT.
I know how stupid this is. I've read this thread here a lot of times and I've always felt sad in a pathetic way for the people asking for advice on how to just sit down and write, yet here I am. I've written down the first draft of one chapter of the novel but that fire in me and motivation faded away very quickly after that. I've yet to edit it and fix some troubles I had with it.
Anyone here has written something elngthy or writes on a daily basis, anyone here has stayed in his room for days just writing with no distraction? I would appreaciate any tips, help or stories. Some insults are welcomed too I guess, I know where I am after all.
TL;DR: Tips on how to stay focused and write consistently
Unironically >>>/adv/
Hire a fucking scribe if you're that shit at summoning even a modicum of your own motivation.

Is still /lit/ related and I feel more secure with advices of people who, more or less and for better or worse, read and write.

You've fallen in love with a story that you don't like. It sounds like you want to write for the sake of writing rather than wanting to say something. If the problem is that you don't know what to say then you need to read more or think harder. You need a more organic writing process; no good fiction is written with everything planned out ahead of time. It literally defeats the purpose. That's why writing is so hard, the uncertainty can be unbearable.
