Keep going! I like to set expectations for myself. For me, since this is my main gig in life work-wise, I aim for 2 health/science stories a week, roughly for Monday and Wednesday, plus my weekly Writer's Guide article. That keeps my feet to the fire, and I know from experience it's a manageable pace given my approach to writing. Some weeks I do more, some less. For other writers the goal might be one a week, or one a month. The exact pace does not matter, but having a bit of a schedule does. Maybe that'll help you moving forward. Don't kick quality and creativity to the curb, but do put some productivity pressure on yourself — so long as you enjoy it.
