Praise For Yancey:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cYancey Strickler is convinced that our value system is broken. In this lucid book<\/a>, he lays out a vision for how to fix it that\u2019s both audacious and elevating. It\u2019s a thought-provoking read for anyone who knows there\u2019s more to life than accumulating wealth.\u201d \u2014 Adam Grant<\/a>,\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0Give and Take<\/a>,\u00a0Originals<\/a><\/em>, and\u00a0Option B<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Given the above bio and all the projects you\u2019re involved in, the first question has to be: how do you find time to write? Do you have a slotted time or does it vary day to day?<\/h3>\n

This is the challenge. I keep my schedule open on Mondays and Fridays for writing and other deep work. If I know I\u2019m going to write on a certain day I can do it. But when I\u2019m trying to squeeze it in, or just hope that inspiration makes it happen, it\u2019s much harder. Especially during COVID with a four-year-old at home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Where<\/a>\u00a0do you like to write? What does your ideal work environment look like?<\/h3>\n

I write in a home office. I use an app called Self-Control<\/a> to turn off all the websites that like to make their siren calls when the writing process gets especially grueling. I bounce back and forth between paper and screen. I print out things I\u2019m writing. I make outlines on physical paper. I often try storyboarding an essay, chapter, or idea visually as a way to feel the arc of it. At the start of the day my desk is completely clean. By the end it\u2019s covered in books and scraps of paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any\u00a0pre-writing rituals<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0habits<\/a>\u00a0before you sit down to write?<\/h3>\n

Not now, but when I was writing the book<\/a> I tried to consciously cultivate a mood of self-forgiveness each day. I\u2019d tell myself it wasn\u2019t my job to write the best sentence ever or to be the most brilliant author ever, it was simply to build this thing called a book. I almost saw myself as a hired hand.<\/p>\n

Early on in the process I would let myself become way too reactive to a particularly \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d day of writing. This resulted in me putting a lot of pressure on myself. It didn\u2019t take long to recognize that carrying that mindset every day was not going to result in my best work. So I had to consciously remove that pressure each morning. I still had hard days, but in general the flow was much more natural.<\/p>\n

This Could Be Our Future<\/em><\/a> was your first book. Even after years and years of writing, what were you surprised to learn in that process that you wish you knew at the start? Did your writing routine or process differ at all?<\/h3>\n

What an amazing process outlining is. An outline lets you explore and be creative about structure. It gives you a strong sense of the emotional journey. It shows you the rhythm you can follow or interrupt. The whole time I was writing my book I was writing for a feeling. There was a way I wanted a person reading it to feel \u2013 a sense of growing awareness of the world around them, a new knowledge that felt like a secret \u2013 that the outlining process helped me tune into.<\/p>\n

How I self-edited evolved a lot. Eventually I started printing out everything I\u2019d written for a chapter \u2013 the text, my notes, the discard pile, my research \u2013 when it felt like things were about 80% there. I\u2019d then spend an entire week marking up these pages, physically cutting out good sentences and paragraphs, using the paper and the walls of my office to better see it. Staying off the computer. It felt like working in the physical space allowed for less rational, more subconscious connections to happen. That space felt more like art.<\/p>\n

How do you know if something you\u2019re working on is not worth publishing or not any good? Have you developed any criteria that lets you evaluate your own work?<\/h3>\n

When I was first shopping my book, I met with a number of literary agents who I liked and who were interested in working together. But there was one agent in particular who I could tell was a bit skeptical of me. I really liked that, and decided to work with them. If I can convince <\/span>this<\/span><\/i> person that my ideas have merit, I thought, then I\u2019ll know that I\u2019m actually making something worthwhile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I continue to use that kind of process. I made sure to have early readers of my book be people who I knew would disagree with it. But I wanted to hear those arguments about what I might have been missing or doing wrong <\/span>before<\/span><\/i> the book was published, not after! Seeking dissenting opinions early on is so helpful. This is something I do even with blog posts today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

People often discuss social media\u2019s detrimental impact on things like productivity and personal wellbeing. For writers and creative\u2019s, there\u2019s an interesting tension. Being on platforms like Twitter seems counter-productive, but, having a platform online is one of the biggest assets agents and publishers look for. You\u2019ve written about going dark on the internet<\/a> a few years ago and then why you began to question that decision. Can you talk about how you utilize social media now? Do you think it\u2019s essential for writers to have a presence there?<\/h3>\n

Social media is a relationship. Not a love-of-your-life relationship. More like one of those tumultuous, hot-and-cold relationships you had in your twenties.<\/p>\n

While writing the book I purposely stayed away from social media as much as possible. There\u2019s such a hivemind of thought and I didn\u2019t want to get caught up in it. What good is a book that reflects the social mood of six months ago \u2013 which translates to decades if not centuries of change in historical terms?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m semi-active on them. I lurk more than post. There\u2019s value for sure. But it\u2019s mentally dangerous. It fills you up with things that are not you. You live with a mindful of other people\u2019s thoughts. This is how these massive social swings keep happening.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is to put it in its proper place in your life. Prioritize real friends first, internet friends second has become my rule of thumb. Too often we ignore emails or texts from our actual friends because we\u2019re scrolling social media or building online brands instead. Like those bad relationships from your twenties, this will not work out in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Great writers tend to be\u00a0voracious readers<\/a>. What does your reading habit look like? What\u00a0books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/h3>\n

I read all the time. I normally have three or four books going. I finish most things I start but it\u2019s not a rule. My reading has really slowed down during COVID \u2013 it\u2019s hard to set aside time for reading when there\u2019s so much else to do, but I\u2019m getting better at it. Influential writers on me\u2026 John Higgs (his book on the KLF), EF Schumacher (Small Is Beautiful<\/em><\/a>), Mariana Mazucatto (brilliant economist), Michael Walzer (Spheres of Justice<\/em><\/a>), Milan Kundera (my montage-y style of writing has its roots in a love of Kundera), Liu Cixin (Three Body Problem<\/em><\/a>), the films of Adam Curtis (\u201cCentury of the Self\u201d), the song \u201cParasite (For Buffy)\u201d by Eugene McDaniels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any last pieces of advice to aspiring writers?<\/b><\/h3>\n

From childhood my dream was to be a writer, and I\u2019ve been fortunate to do it professionally in a variety of ways (music critic, copyeditor, editor in chief, book author). Ultimately all of these opportunities came because of other things I had learned or was doing \u2013 being obsessed with music, the experience of building Kickstarter, etc. In a world where essentially everyone is a writer (if we include social media), it\u2019s critical to have that other thing \u2013 an area of expertise, a specific lens or focus, a life experience to share \u2013 to stand out. So if you want to be a writer, go live an interesting or obsessive life and take good notes.<\/p>\n

Peace.<\/span><\/p>\n
