That’s the thing you have to understand about the whole process of art (or the work that we do) – you’re only half of the equation. It’s an interaction between you and the person who’s going to experience the work. The person who’s going to experience the work is bringing just as much to it and is just as important as you are.

Write the book you want to read

Art that only comes from the head isn't any good. Watch any good musician and you'll see what I mean.

Eat breakfast. Do some push-ups. Go for long walks. Get plenty of sleep.
