How to be a prolific writer?
Leo Babauta, shares in Learn from the Greats: 7 Writing Habits of Amazing Writers:
Stephen King is most prolific -writing 10 pages a day. Ernest Hemingway competes with 500 words a day.
Hard working writers are Vladimir Nabokov & Philip Roth.
Vladimir Nabokov wrote standing up, and all on index cards (to re-arrange later). Philip Roth works standing up, pacing around as he thinks and writes in an isolated studio.
Hardly working Truman Capote wrote lying down, in bed or on a couch.
James Joyce displays amazing freedom - A friend asked him if he’d had a good day writing. Yes, Joyce replied happily. How much had he written? Three sentences, Joyce told him.
My vote goes to James Joyce, though Truman Capote is close!
What would you vote for?
