Not that I have much experience in the matter but I realized that my mistake after my first novella was that I set a way too aggressive writing schedule. I subsequently dropped that work. But now I've picked up Bill Dodd's excellent "How to Write your novel in Nine Weeks." I can't recommend this enough. It's like a mini-journal/coach to help you motivate to get through those pesky word counts.
I've started up my second novella, a sequel to the first (which was planned when I penned the first). I'm finding it much easier this time around to stick to his schedule.
