Henry Miller’s 11 Commandments of Writing

Thanks to Maria Popova’s Brain Pickings for this excellent page that includes Miller’s ‘daily program’.

2. Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.
3. Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
