1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: A podcast playground, I buzsnight on the next taking a

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Walk podcast Will Doris, Current's good with It's so nice

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: to see you. I'm so glad to be with you.

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: This is fun and what a beautiful night. It's perfect

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: for this. I'm just fascinated on the process. So do

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: you set a goal of how much you write? Or

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: is it just to sit down and take on the

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: task of writing. It's really just to sit down and

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: take it on. I mean, I know there are certain

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: writers who say they have to write three pages or

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: you know, I remember some of hearing some of them

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: they wouldn't smoke a cigarette until they got a certain

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: number of pages done, or they wouldn't have a drink

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: until that. Sometimes, though, I do sort of set a

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: deadline for when I want to finish a chapter to

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: send in to my editors, and that at least helps

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: me because even if I don't make the actual deadline,

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: at least it's close. What sort of perfection are you

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: aiming at with these initial writings. That's really interesting to ask,

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: because I think people are very different. There are some

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: writers who can just write really, really rough drafts and

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: then edit them and they're great editors of them. They

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: might go over them four or five, six times. I

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: can't really finish a chapter unless it's almost done, so

25
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: that if there's something missing and there's some piece of

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: research I need to do, I have to do it.

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: It's not the greatest way to do it, but it's

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: the only way I can do it. That's next time

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking a walk.
