For some people, they have done it long enough that they have tricks, they have processes that they can follow. If I'm going to go into a day where I know I'm going to have to do a lot of writing, I'm not editing, I'm not project managing, I'm going to write, the first thing I sat down and do is write.

not necessarily what I need to write, but I get my mind into the point where my fingers know what they feel like on the keyboard. I'm answering two emails and I'm writing a tip of the day, right? I'm doing something that things are going from here through my fingers onto, I'm pointing to my head by a big noggin here, from my head through my fingers onto the screen.

Then I am in a space where my body says, oh yeah, I've done this before. So I am going to continue to do this. If I'm working on a longer project, I will read the last few lines of what I wrote before or the section that I'm about to add to just to get my brain then thinking, all right, oh yeah, I'm working on this subclass and I need to continue from here.

And the last thing is when I'm ideating, when I'm thinking, I need to walk. And this was always a problem for me because I'd be sitting at my keyboard and I'd be like, okay, I need to come up with an idea. I'd have to stand up, walk around, get the idea, come back, sit down. I got a treadmill. And now I can walk and think at the same time and I don't have to leave the keyboard to do it.

That's just a me thing, but it was huge. I can go and I can start working and I will all of a sudden blink. And I've been walking for three hours. And I didn't even realize that a minute had passed. If I'm sitting or if I'm just standing after about 30 minutes, I start to feel it. I start to feel achy. I start to, but walking for some reason is the way my brain processes. So I do that.

Write the next word, whatever it is. And if it's wrong, delete it and write a different word. And if that word's wrong, or if that sentence is wrong, or if that paragraph's wrong, or if that page is wrong, delete it and write a new one. Because you're creating the clay from which you're going to sculpt your final version of whatever.

And I'm looking at all of the wonderful folks right now who have that link. And we also have the Masters of the Multiverse. Their support really is appreciated, and it's so appreciated that we like to give them a shout-out on the show. So we are going to do that right now, starting with Agile Monk. Keith Ammon of the Monsters know what they're doing. And One Foot in Fairyland, apparently. Ooh.
