Writer John O'Hara wrote large books, such as From the Terrace at 900 pages. A reported waiting next to Ohara's writing room. O'Hara wrote from 10am to 5am exactly. He came out at 5am and said, "Let's have some wine to celebrate finishing my book at 4:30." "But I heard you typing till 5," the reporter said. "Oh, I started another book," Ohara said.
Thanks for sharing such a cool story, Paul. Love this!
I am often working on more than one book at a time, that way when I don't know what to write next for one story, I can switch to something else. If that fails, I go for a walk or grab a coffee. But I can't imagine writing for that many hours. I'm good for about three or four solid hours a day.
Plus, there's all this other stuff: podcast, articles, posts, social media, marketing, publishing. It's a plate full!
