Sunday Pick: Sci-fi writer Andy Weir doesn't love writing | from ReThinking with Adam Grant

I can't wait to figure out where that comes from.

TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Sci-fi writer Andy Weir doesn't love writing | from ReThinking with Adam Grant

A lot of daydreaming, I guess.

TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Sci-fi writer Andy Weir doesn't love writing | from ReThinking with Adam Grant

For me, I come up with like 100 ideas a day and usually 100 of them suck.
