Hey everyone, i have a friend who claims he writes little bit over 22k words everyday during the 5 days of the week. At first i didn't believe that he was this prolific in his writing but it turns out that i was wrong. I went by his place to spend a weak and observed his routine carefully.
He wakes up 5:00 on the dot every morning. After tending to his morning routine (eating breakfast and such) he immediately sit around his comfortable desk, boots up his laptop and starts typing. As a fellow writer i natural joined him by doing some writing of my own. Hours passed and i felt like an apprentice learning from a master Jedi of words!
While i got up and stretch my legs a couple of times, my master sat there for 6 hours straight typing constantly! I was amazed by his deep concentration and at the same time concern about his health. I mean his spinal fluids could have cease up if he didn't move for so long. Anyway, after another hour went by he got up finally and used the bathroom before long getting something to snack on. I suggested that we watch a movie and chill during the break but he had other plans. Instead of wasting time watching movies like me, my master decided to build his already chiselled muscles by undertaking some intense exercise. He did a few deadlifts, leg presses and a few bicep curls to get his blood pumping. This was after his food had been digested.
When i asked him why he was working out like such a beast he told me that it helps keeps him in shape and prevented the veins in his arms from getting overly pressured by the lot of typing that he does. Unlike most writers i know my masterful Jedi of words was very bulky just as those dudes you see spending most of their time in gyms. At a glance, no one would be able to tell that he was actually a professional writer. He maintains an healthy constitution so he can write longer without suffering any bodily injuries. The only injury he should be suffering is a mental one.
After his workout session, my master went right back to typing. In the morning he sits down and types but in the afternoon he usually stands as he writes. He said it increases his blood circulation and helps him write a lot faster and i witnessed its effectiveness for myself. Sitting down makes me feel a bit lazy but standing up give me more motivation to write and it also trains my legs to be firmer. By the time the first day of observation was over, my master had written close to 31k words. I think this word count might be close to a standard novel or i could be wrong.
Anyway, i found out that being a Jedi of words was a legitimate thing. You just have to commit to it like my master. He taught me a valuable lesson that is making me take writing a lot more serious than i used to back in the days. Writing even 40k words a day isn't an impossible task for my sifu. Do any of you think you could be as prolific as him? I'm trying but i'm still not there. I think my physical health along with my mental focus needs to be as strong as his to pull it off. He is never out of creative ideas.
