I write about eight hours a day, and I throw away most of what I write.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I write best in the morning, and I can only write for about half a day, that's about it.
I'm not the kind of writer that can write eight hours a day... I'm the kind of writer that the more time I have, the less efficient I am.
I work eight hours a day, but I'm not writing all that time. I'm thinking, editing, looking something up. Thinking is what I do a lot of.
I write about five thousand words a day, when working on a book, about three thousand a day if I'm writing a short story. I take long periods off between projects, when I read a lot, garden, and think about the next book or stories.
It's the hardest thing in the world to dedicate to writing, but if you do that even once a week, after six months or a year you'll have something substantial.
At first, I spend about four hours a day writing. Toward the end of a book, I spend up to 16 hours a day on it, because all I want to do is make it good and get it done.
I suppress the vast majority of what I write.
I take two hours off for my family every day. And then I write fourteen hours.
I don't write every day. I write when I want to write.
I write every day. Most weekdays, I write about ten hours a day. That doesn't mean eight hours of surfing the Net or watching videos on YouTube. I park my butt in a chair and write... I learned that writer's block is a myth created by people who don't have, or understand, a writing process.
