Dear Friend,

I often get asked questions about the writing process. People like to ask about when the best time to write is, what the best software is, what the best way to think about writing is.

Fortunately friends, I have discovered the best way. I am going to tell you today about some of the daily routines and habits of some of the most legendary writers of all time. When you get to the end, you will have discovered the number one "productivity hack" that all great writers share. As you read through this seemingly disparate collection of habits, see if you can pick it out.

Let's start with Ernest Hemingway, that manly icon of American literature. He wrote standing up, with his typewriter perched on a bookshelf at chest level. He'd pound out 500-1000 words every morning before doing anything else——often in his underwear.

Then there's Jack Kerouac, the beat generation's poster boy. This madman wrote On the Road in a three-week frenzy, typing on a continuous 120-foot roll of paper. Why? So he wouldn't have to stop to change pages. That's dedication——or insanity.

Now, let's talk about Truman Capote and his bizarre superstitions. He refused to begin or end a piece of work on a Friday, would never leave more than three cigarette butts in an ashtray, wouldn't allow three cigarettes to be lit with the same match. He had a number of rules that defined his writing process

Virginia Woolf wrote all her books standing up and would walk around her room between sentences.

But the award for most extreme writing method goes to Victor Hugo. To meet a deadline for The Hunchback of Notre Dame——he locked away all his clothes to avoid any temptation of going outside and forced himself to stay in and write naked.

And just when you think it can't get weirder——Friedrich Schiller kept rotten apples in his desk drawer——claiming the scent inspired him. Edith Sitwell would lie down in an open coffin before she began her day's writing. And James Joyce, when his eyesight was failing, wrote much of Finnegan's Wake in crayon on pieces of cardboard.

Have you figured it out? The secret habit. The one routine to rule them all. The one thing every writer must do to skyrocket their productivity and produce literary masterpieces that echo throughout the centuries? The morning routine? The note-taking software? Have you guessed it yet?! It's quite simple...

They All Just Wrote!

That's it. That's the big secret. Keep it simple! They didn't waste time studying the writing habits of other authors. They didn't look at the morning routines of some productivity guru that sells AirBnb courses and a focus supplement. They didn't get caught up in finding the perfect writing software or the ideal note-taking system. No, they just wrote. In their own weird way that they figured out worked for them.

And that, my friend, is the number one key to success as a writer. There is no magic key. There is no secret formula.

Studying the writing habits of professional writers with the hopes of unlocking some gem is a waste of time. Focusing on connecting notes in Obsidian is a distraction. Switching between note-taking software, typewriters, word processors——it's all just masturbatory procrastination dressed up as productivity.

You want to know the best piece of technology for writing? The pen you currently have!

The best piece of technology for capturing that writing? The nearest notebook, legal pad, or notecard to where you are currently sitting.

This is exactly why I created Write to Freedom. In this program, we get rid of all the fluff and focus on what matters: creating analog knowledge and establishing a business model that allows you to write one thing per month and make a killing from it.

We don't waste time on fancy software or complex systems. We don't get bogged down in the minutiae of note-taking methods or the perfect writing environment. Instead, we focus on the one thing that matters:

Writing!

I don't just say this to say it. I'm very serious. I believe this and I'm willing to sign my name on it. I'm so confident in this approach that I'm offering a seemingly insane guarantee.

That guarantee is this: If you are accepted into Write to Freedom, I will personally work with you until I get you to $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue.

Let me be crystal clear——that means $10,000 per month in recurring revenue. Money that comes in month after month after month. And once that's set up, you'll get the system that allowed me to scale to over 7 figures per year.

If you're ready to stop obsessing over writing habits and start actually writing——and making money from it——then I invite you to watch this detailed 44-minute video where I break down exactly how you can create a thriving writing business:

In this video, I break down exactly how this business model works and how you can implement it in your own writing career.

Please note: In just 1 day I will be shutting down enrollment for Write to Freedom for this month.

I like to work with each of my people personally——which means——I have a limited capacity of how many people I can bring on under my wing. I cannot bring loads of people all at once. So I'm not sure yet when I'll be writing about this again.

For this reason——I would like to implore you to watch the following video ASAP:

Warm regards,

And always remember,

To stay crispy, my friend.
