Daily Routine of a Top Writer
Creativity is a hard master and a fair-weather frenemy
This article might not blow your mind, but it could blow your socks off and definitely will blow at least one strand of your hair back. If you are bald, there will be a tiny breeze. If you have thick hair — you bastard — it will make you wonder if a storms a-brewin’.
According to someone, I am a top writer in four categories. One of them is Psychology. I took a psychology class once, named Abnormal Psychology as a requirement for Chiropractic College. I got a B, in case you care.
I also did not become a Chiropractor, which is good news to anyone suffering from back pain.
But I tend to run out of tags for my impossible to categorize stories, so when in doubt I choose “psychology” because isn’t everything about the human mind? And voila, I became a top writer in that revered field!
Today, I shall open up the secret tome of what it looks like to write, consistently. Every now and then one of my masterpieces is rejected, like the other day when one of my editors wrote:
“I’m not sure enough people will care about this, so we’ll pass.”
Ouch.
