Thanks Crich!

I didn't see much hubris in his comments. It does come across clearly as this is what worked "for me." He also has experience in shorter form writing. I like seeing how other people use certain tools (Scrivener here). He appears committed to using social media as a marketing (Twitter) and/or sustaining (Patreon) tool. Yep, takes guts to hang yourself out in the wind for everyone to watch.

He doesn't mention one piece of advice I read a long time ago and liked -- try to stop writing for the day while you still have something you are burning to say. That way your next session is painless to start and you're less tempted to dawdle over what you already wrote.

edit - oops, he says exactly this in one of his other blog entries! Obviously a bloke who knows what he's doing, lol.
