Andy Weir

Things I am not allowed to do, quote unquote.

I'm not allowed to watch any form of video entertainment.

No YouTube, no streaming things, no TV, nothing.

Not allowed to do that.

Not allowed to do woodworking or crafting stuff, which is I'm into that.

That's my hobby.

Certain websites that are just absolute time wasters that I'm not allowed to go to.

until I've made my words.

And after that, I can do what I want.

And so it's just self-discipline.

I mean, every job everywhere has periods of hard work that you don't want to do that you just gut it out.

How can you tell?

I mean, at any given time, any idea I have is probably bad, right?

So it's very easy for me to identify a bad idea.

The hard thing for me is identifying a good idea.

So I just have what I feel are a litany of bad ideas.

And every now and then I'll kind of remember one and go like, well, you know, maybe.

I guess if an idea keeps kind of resurfacing in my head and I keep thinking like, yeah, there's something there.

There's something there.

There's something there.
