I've been consistently trying to write and draw for 15+ years, with weekly practices, and I haven't seen any appreciable improvement. My handwriting is still erratic and illegible, and I can't carry a story thread over a page or two without stumbling and falling hard. Meanwhile, both my grandfather and mother are accomplished artists. Guess it skipped a generation...
Do you enjoy doing it? If so, who cares if you're good. If not, why are you doing something you don't enjoy?
I don't enjoy doing it, but I do it with the goal of showing myself I CAN do it and to gain joy/accomplishment for that, and also because these are some specific weak points of mine I've been trying to polish and repair for ages. Also, I'm always very impressed with people whose handwriting looks like it was printed because it's so precise and consistent. Mine has always looked like I was a doctor (I wish), so I just wanted to improve in that regard.
i once visited a friend who was in the middle of writing a screenplay and he had an entire 20 ft wall covered in colored post-it notes for various characters and story arcs. maybe that would help you.
maybe thats a good use case for spatial applications.
As the other person mentioned, maybe you should reconsider the way you organise your writing.
If you cannot hold down plotlines while you're just writing off the top of your head, you could try doing more planning and mapping out your plot.
If you don't mind the mess, and prefer physical/tactile notes, stuff like the post its the other user mentioned, or something like a cork board could probably be good.
If you prefer to be super organised and don't mind digital notes, there's a lot of free to use organisation/notes apps, I really like Obsidian.
