Happy New Year! This episode was perfect for me to hear. All the thoughts on obsession especially resonated. I'll have had a year away from my 3rd novel soon. But maybe that rest is needed to find the obsession again, after all the shorter term opportunities that came last year. Hopefully it'll all lead to more, but I do feel I need to get back into a novel.
Thank you for talking about how writers work, in addition to the encouragement to make that writing goal happen this year. It's hard to know if we're doing "enough," and specific advice like writing one page really helps. It's also tremendous to know that you burst and don't "write every day" and still have finished three books in as many years (or less). Happy New Year.

Happy New Year, Harvey, and good luck with it!
