There's a bit of a longer thread here, but this is the essence of it.

Also, as @alexdecampi.bsky.social said in that thread, you should probably distrust the heroic struggle that writers offer up as their process for writing a novel.
If there's any secret to writing it's that you need to be left alone, unstressed, untormented by the evils of this awful world, for a little while every day, and that's a luxury.

Oh, man! admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it. Be cool at the equator; keep thy blood fluid at the Pole.

"Saturdays are disco days. Fred lets us use the generator to spin records for an hour from Grandma’s collection."
