Now, I didn’t say I wrote the book every day — just that I worked on
it. Some (many) days, I would work on sample code, futz with formatting,
brainstorm ideas, or make edits. All I needed to do was stare at the
page for ten minutes and try to do something that felt like progress.
Instead, I got into a different kind of zone — one where the work was
omnipresent, but in the background. More sous vide than flame grilled.
Writing every day kept ideas top of mind. When I finished writing, I’d
carry the puzzles to my commute or the shower, and I’d talk to people
about them. My ideas were always nearby, making it easy to jump back in.
If I’d worked for 70 minutes, every Saturday, I’m sure I’d have made far
less progress. I’d have forgotten where I was every time I was ready to
start.
If I had writer’s block, I didn’t beat myself up about it — **today
might not be a good day, so let’s use it for something I have to do
anyway.** There’s always tomorrow to take another crack at writing.
On those days, I would often review and edit dozens of pages, which
kick-started my thinking by reminding me of the big picture — and of the
gaps — in a way that I couldn’t when my cursor was sitting and blinking
in the middle of a sentence. I rarely found myself unable to write for
more than a few days or a week at a time.
