“...so I can see the whole document in one view”

Thanks for reminding me! Another good method of writer’s flow, is to write in “book view.” I use LibreOffice, which has a book view option, where there’s 2 pages, as in an open book. That way I’m aware it’s already a book and I’m just filling it in. :)
If you’re inclined to pay for software I believe Microsoft Word will do the same trick.
Also, decide whether you’re a pantser or a plotter. Possibly your expectations don’t line up with your inclinations. On the other hand, some pantsers need a bit more discipline, and some plotters need to loosen up.
Sometimes you just need a coach or an encouraging book. I recommend “Book In A Month” by Victoria Lynn Schmidt. I’ve read a dozen others, but that one tops my list.
Best youtube coach: Derek Murphy. (From among several dozen I have viewed.) Murphy’s outlining videos will get your mind right in no time.

Thanks for your good suggestions, Buttons12. I also use Libre Office because Microsoft blew away my 2013 version of Office, so I refused to pay their $100 a year fee.

Libre works just fine and allowed me to jettison Outlook which is bloatware. I am not completely against Microsoft. I am using their ancient but powerful Visual Foxpro to create study aids to help me learn Japanese conversation. This is a bit of a challenge since you need to play a few tricks to bridge the double byte character gap. Having a blast here in Nippon-land. All the best.
