Cognitive psychologist, Ronald T Kellogg, wrote in The Psychology of Writing<\/a> <\/em>(1994), \u201c[There is] evidence that environments, schedules, and rituals restructure the writing process and amplify performance\u2026The room, time of day, or ritual selected for working may enable or even induce intense concentration or a favorable motivational or emotional state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Psychologist and philosopher William James wrote a century earlier in Habit<\/a><\/em>, \u201cThe habits to which there is an innate tendency are called instincts.\u201d As in, you don\u2019t have to think about it. And as any writer would likely attest, the fewer things not related to the actual writing that you have to think about, the better. The more mental space you can reserve for expending on the writing, the better.<\/p>\n

This is the magic\u00a0of a writer\u2019s routine<\/a>. They automate decisions like when<\/em> and where<\/em> so that they become instinctual, saving that mental energy for the work. When they find the routine that works, they never break it.<\/p>\n

Here are the words of\u00a0some of the greatest and most prolific writers on\u00a0sticking to the routine:<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 <\/span>Stephen King<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>has released over 60 full-length works of fiction and almost 200 short stories. He\u2019s also created screenplays and written both comics and nonfiction:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI sit down, from 8:00 to 8:30, somewhere within that half hour every morning. I have my vitamin pill and my music<\/a>, sit in the same seat, and the papers are all arranged in the same places\u2026<\/span><\/i>The cumulative purpose of doing these things the same way every day<\/i><\/b> seems to be a way of saying to the mind, you\u2019re going to be dreaming soon.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 <\/span><\/i>Haruki Murakami<\/span><\/a>, called one of the world\u2019s greatest living novelists by The Guardian<\/a> for works like <\/span>Kafka On The Shore<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Norwegian Wood<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>1Q84<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI get up at four a.m. and work for five to six hours. In the afternoon, I run for ten kilometers or swim for fifteen hundred meters<\/a> (or do both), then I read a bit and listen to some music. I go to bed at nine p.m. I keep to this routine every day without variation. <\/span><\/i>The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it\u2019s a form of mesmerism<\/i><\/b>. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 WH Auden<\/a>, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet known for his ability to write poems in almost every verse form. He was also a noted playwright, librettist, editor, and essayist<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cRoutine, in an intelligent man, is a sign of ambition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Webster Schott detailed his observations of WH Auden in a 1970 Life<\/a> Magazine piece, \u201cHe looks at his wristwatch and says, \u2018I\u2019m a slave to it. I shouldn\u2019t know what to do unless it told me.\u2019<\/strong> He checks his watch over and over again. Eating, drinking, writing, shopping, crossword puzzles, even the mailman\u2019s arrival\u2013all are timed to the minute and with accompanying routines.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Alice Munro<\/a>, called the master of the short story and winner of 22 literary prizes including the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013:<\/p>\n

\u201cI write every morning, seven days a week. I write starting about eight o\u2019clock and finish around eleven\u2026.I am so compulsive that I have a quota of pages<\/a>. I\u2019m also compulsive now about how much I walk every day\u2026.Three miles every day<\/a>, so if I know I\u2019m going to miss a day, I have to make it up. I watched my father go through this same thing. You protect yourself by thinking if you have all these rituals and routines then nothing can get you.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Leo Tolstoy, considered one of the most important writers in history for masterpiece novels like War and Peace<\/a><\/em> and Anna Karenina<\/a><\/em>. Tolstoy\u2019s long list<\/a> of work also includes short stories, dramatic plays, and essays<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI must write each day without fail, not so much for the success of the work, as in order not to get out of my routine.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Charles Dickens<\/a>, author of 15 novels including classics like Oliver Twist<\/a>, A Christmas Carol<\/a>, <\/em>and David Copperfield<\/a>.<\/em> He also wrote short stories, essays, articles, and novellas:<\/p>\n

\u201cI never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He eldest son recounted, \u201cno city clerk was ever more methodical or orderly than he; no humdrum, monotonous, conventional task could ever have been discharged with more punctuality or with more business-like regularity than he gave to the work of his imagination and fancy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Isaac Asimov<\/a>\u00a0 is\u00a0credited with writing over 500 published works, most notably the Foundation<\/a> <\/em>and Robot<\/a> <\/em>series\u2019. There are also estimates<\/a> that Asimov wrote more than 90,000 letters and postcards.<\/p>\n

In his memoir, I, Asimov<\/a><\/em>, reflects on his unwavering writing routine<\/a>. He calls it his \u201ccandy store\u201d schedule, born and cemented from the years working at the convenience store his father ran in New York:<\/p>\n

\u201cI wake at five in the morning. I get to work as early as I can<\/a>. I work as long as I can. I do this every day of the week, including holidays…<\/strong>I am still and forever in the candy store. Of course, I\u2019m not waiting on customers; I\u2019m not taking <\/em>money and making <\/em>change; I\u2019m not forced to be polite to everyone who comes in (in actual fact, I was never good at that). I am, instead, doing things I very much want to do \u2014 but the schedule is there; the schedule that was ground into me; the schedule you would think I would have rebelled against once I had the chance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 C.S. Lewis<\/a> wrote more than 30 books which have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies: In his 1955 memoir, Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life<\/a><\/em>, C.S. Lewis details the routine he crafted at the age of fifteen at Great Bookham<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201c[I] settled into a routine which has ever since served in my mind as an archetype<\/strong>, so that what I still mean when I speak of a \u201cnormal\u201d day (and lament that normal days are so rare) is a day of the Bookham pattern. For if I could please myself I would always live as I lived there. I would choose always to breakfast at exactly eight and to be at my desk by nine, there to read or write till one.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writing isn\u2019t easy<\/a>. The life isn\u2019t for everyone. But for those who find themselves called to it, will find that there is nothing better. There is no other life they\u2019d rather know.<\/p>\n
