i'm a good writer

As much as needed.

They usually have a word count per day they try to stick to, the hours vary.

35. Authors of the right caliber are granted access to the full amount of hours in a day.

4 - 8.

writing as an exercise or writing on a project?
I guess a tot. of words every day in the first case and until you fall asleep in the second.

None of these schedules make time for 6 hours of compulsive masturbation.

This is exactly why I believe there's a place for myself on that chart.

>>7857192

something this doesn't include in their daily schedule which i suppose no one really knows is "hours spent thinking about their work" which probably composes most of the day for the average great, even when they're doing other things.

Why is Maya Angelou on there?

i would imagine pynchon spends 30 mins to an hour, but does most of his work in his head while watching tv or reading

>implying a truly great author would sully his ideas by bringing them to the mortal plane

>>7857956
sounds like the ideas are not within the authors grasp

>>7857192

>up to 50 cups of black coffee a day

Fucking based

When I hear someone is a notorious work-a-holic I immediately become interested in their work

>his greatest ideas are so basic he can wrap his own mind around them

>>7857796
desu i thought it was a bit weird too, considering ye she's an accomplished writer and all, but like not at the level of Emanuel Kant and Mozart.

I figure it's to provide a little diversity to the chart. That or the author was studying her at the time

>>7857192
>no Joyce

How does one fit 50 cups into a day.

Probably smaller cups of coffee than what most American's drink in the day I suppose.

Every morning I make myself a big ass mug of black coffee and try to write over a 1000 words a day on whatever project I am doing for fun, I seriously don't have the work ethic to sit on my ass for hours drinking coffee and writing though, nor do I have the funds.

>>7856957
>counting words
Lol xDDD

I'd love to see GRRM on here. Most of it would be taken up by traveling and writing about sports on his blog. Also, every time I read an article complaininghow long it's taking him to finish the just series, I imagine GRRM flying in a jet full of cash with "Girls just want to have fun" playing in the background.

>>7858053
I think i can manage about 9 cups of black a day if I'm having a hermit day inside and thats mostly instant coffee for the sake of time.

Cigarettes help my writing but I'm trying to quit.

>instant coffee

>>7858067

Its not the method its the cleaning the muck from the base i hate. Man i shouldn't haven't said anything!

posting coffee core

>>7858141
rinse it out in the sink anon

>>7858141

I don't french press, I just use those standard American brewers with the coffee filters. Good, decent store bought coffee, easy to clean up.

I worked at a fancy cafe' too, I learned that all these fancy Italian coffees are horseshit, the difference in taste is unimportant to me to a nice freshly brewed American coffee.

>>7858141
It sounds like you're cleaning dogshit instead of a muck.

how long did joyce
