Bonnie Tsui combines fascinating reporting about some of the world&#8217;s most remarkable swimmers with delightful meditations about what it means for us naked apes to leap in the water for no apparent reason. You won&#8217;t regret diving in.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/carlzimmer.com\/\">Carl Zimmer<\/a>, <em>New York Times<\/em> science columnist and author of <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/hBlLL\"><em>She Has Her Mother&#8217;s Laugh<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/20-famous-writers-on-when-they-do-their-best-work\/\">When<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-workplaces\/\">where<\/a>\u00a0do you like to write? Are you\u00a0regimented about your writing routine?<\/h3>\n<p>I like to write early in the morning, when my head is clearest. I can get more serious, concentrated writing done in the 6 to 7 am hour than I can in three-plus hours later in the day, when the world has had time to invade my thoughts. I\u2019m not particularly regimented about the where, but I do know that a quiet place with a big table to spread out on is optimal for me.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have any\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/pre-writing-rituals\/\">pre-writing rituals<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/strange-writing-habits\/\">habits<\/a>\u00a0before you sit down to write?<\/h3>\n<p>I feel extra good and ready to write if I\u2019ve gotten a swim or surf in beforehand. When I do sit down, coffee and a big jar of bubbly water are the best company.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/overcome-writers-block\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a>?\u00a0Do you think such a thing exists?<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t really suffer from writer\u2019s block, though there are certainly times when I don\u2019t feel like writing. If the writing isn\u2019t happening at a given time, I try to pivot to something else: reading something I\u2019m excited about, going for a walk, seeking out good conversation. I\u2019m not above calling it a day and trying again tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h3>All of your work is incredibly reported and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/i-research-3-new-york-times-bestselling-authors-spare-time\/\">researched<\/a>. Can you talk about that process and your method for organizing material you may want to use in future writing?<\/h3>\n<p>If a line fragment or an idea strikes me in a moment when it\u2019s not convenient to think about it more deeply, I\u2019ll send myself an email, just so I have it somewhere. Later I\u2019ll put it in a folder in Scrivener. I love that program, especially for organizing big projects. You can look at drafts and research material at the same time. I used to have eight million different Word documents that held bits and pieces of the same stuff, plus emails and recordings and images and links to things scattered in different forgotten locations on my laptop. Now it\u2019s all in the same place.<\/p>\n<h3>Your latest book <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/Km0dZ\"><em>Why We Swim<\/em><\/a> blends history and journalism with your lifelong love for swimming. Even though you\u2019ve been in and around the water for so long, were there any new lessons or insights in researching or writing <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/Km0dZ\"><em>Why We Swim<\/em><\/a> that you\u2019ve applied to your writing career?<\/h3>\n<p>Patience. So much of swimming is about pacing and breath and efficiency, waiting for just the right moment to catch the water and glide. Writing is the same way.<\/p>\n<h3>Deciding on a great idea to write about can be the most challenging aspect for a writer. How do you come to the point of \u2018this is something I want to write about\u2019? Are there habits or daily practices you use to think about book or article ideas?<\/h3>\n<p>I go back to the collecting of little bits of research and stories on the many things that intrigue me. I\u2019ll put them away and go back every now and again to jog my memory, to see what\u2019s accumulated over time, if patterns have emerged. That practice is one that takes a little while to bear fruit, but it\u2019s really served me well to illustrate the ideas and themes that catch my curiosity, and to highlight that which might sustain a book or a long article.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/seven-books-every-aspiring-writer-must-read\/\">books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/best-books-writing-process\/\">writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/h3>\n<p>I love Stephen King\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/AGA9meo\"><em>On Writing<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What is your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/expert-advice-to-aspring-writers\/\">advice to aspiring writers<\/a>?<\/h3>\n<p>Remember to read.
