Wow, this is wonderful. I think I'll adopt it. I love 10 as well, otherwise it feels so overwhelming! I also like 3, for its comforting tone. He sounds like my mother...everything will be fine, dear! And #4 keeps you on task and businesslike, rather than being swayed by distracting moods. Like yoga!
I also like - drink if you feel like it. Takes the pressure off! thanks for this!
I love these, especially #1, #10, and #11. But that could change tomorrow. : )
ReplyDeleteThese are great, aren't they? And it's encouraging to know that even Henry Miller had to develop a schedule/process for himself.

And the meta-idea, that even a great writer needs to rethink his motivation, his process. That's so helpful.
