I found I got less interested the closer I got to the end of something. Once I knew where I was going, actually working out the words and writing them down wasn't fun anymore.

I don't think "less interested" is the case for me; I find it harder to write near the end of things because Endings Are Hard.

I also found I couldn't commit myself to any particular time to write. Some days I could be in the mood to write all day

Seems to me that not being able to induce that mood a goodly majority of the time is going to make writing seriously impossible anyhow.

Interestingly, one significant transition along that path occurred when I first went on psych drugs. I pretty much just stopped writing then. (It was an entirely worthwhile tradeoff.)

Glad it worked that way for you; this is the number-one reason why I am absolutely opposed to taking any psych drugs whatsoever under any imaginable circumstances.
