The thoughtful, provocative questions Warren Berger raises in this book are indeed the kind of \u2018beautiful questions\u2019 that can help us identify the right problems and generate creative solutions.\u201d<\/em> \u2015<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/daniel-pink-interview\/\">Daniel Pink<\/a>, New York Times bestselling author of <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/AFvt\"><em>Drive<\/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 the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/prolific-writers-routine\/\">same-thing-every-day kind of writer<\/a>\u00a0or can you write anytime, anywhere?<\/h3>\n<p>I usually write in a separate office, outside my house. I have plenty of space to write at home, but I find that going to a separate location\u2014where I don\u2019t have wi fi\u2014helps me get away from distractions. I believe that small, everyday, and never-ending distractions may be the single biggest enemy for any writer.<\/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 usually fix myself a cup of tea. Sometimes I\u2019ll jot down ideas on a scrap of paper or notepad, before I actually go to the keyboard.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you do\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/overcome-writers-block\/\">when the writing isn\u2019t coming easy<\/a>? Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-block-quotes\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a>?<\/h3>\n<p>Everyone faces writer\u2019s blocks, and the blocks come in all sizes and different durations. There\u2019s often a \u201csmall block\u201d when you first begin writing\u2014just because it\u2019s hard to start writing. To overcome the small blocks, just resolve to stay at it, for at least an hour. You can get up and move around the room, but try not to leave your writing area. Usually something will happen in that hour, as long as you don\u2019t leave the room or try to escape online. If the block is bigger and extends beyond an hour and shows no sign of going away, then I think it may be wise to take a break\u2014going for a walk is always good. I find lots of ideas come to me while I\u2019m walking or exercising. If you take a break, don\u2019t get lost on the Internet or watch television or start reading a book. That will take you out of your own thoughts, into other people\u2019s thoughts. Which doesn\u2019t really help with <em>your <\/em>creativity.<\/p>\n<h3>All of your work is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/i-research-3-new-york-times-bestselling-authors-spare-time\/\">research intensive<\/a>.\u00a0What does your reading and researching process look like? Do you have a system or method for organizing material you may want to use in future writing?<\/h3>\n<p>I tend to do lots of research upfront\u2014a combination of conducting interviews, reading books, and doing exhaustive Internet searches. Then I take stock of my research, make notes of what\u2019s most important and what I want to use. Sometimes I\u2019ll create outlines for my writing, based on my research. One tip about research\u2014you have to know when to stop researching and start writing. Research can sometimes be used as a delay tactic. Because, frankly, it\u2019s easier to do research (especially on the Internet) than it is to actually write. And there is no limit to what you can find out, but at a certain point, too much research can weigh you down. Sometimes I give myself a designated period for research\u2014and once that time is up, I know I have to start writing something. Another important tip about research\u2014be willing to throw a lot of it away. There\u2019s a temptation to overstuff your writing with every interesting thing you\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n<h3>In all your research and writing on questioning, creativity, curiosity, and innovation, what have been the greatest insights you\u2019ve applied to your writing routine?<\/h3>\n<p>This echoes some of what I\u2019ve said, but it\u2019s just that, in an age of distraction, we really have to work hard to remain focused. It may involve unplugging and cutting yourself off\u2014from all forms of media and other people\u2014for extended blocks of time. I like to have writing blocks of at least 3 hours.<\/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 look for themes or ideas that seem to be coming up again and again\u2014I\u2019ll keep noticing this theme and that tells me it might be worth pursuing. Pay attention to what intrigues you, infuriates you, things you find yourself wondering about. Be mindful of your preoccupations. I found myself thinking a lot about \u201cquestioning\u201d\u2014I kept noticing it as a theme that was coming up again and again\u2014and so I decided to pursue it. Once you decide to pursue an idea, look around at who else is working on this\u2014then try to figure out if there is some way you could come at it a little differently, to put your own spin on it.<\/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 was greatly influenced by a writing professor at Syracuse University, named John Keats\u2014who had been a lifelong freelance writer and showed me that it was a viable career choice. There are some great classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/seven-books-every-aspiring-writer-must-read\/\">books on writing<\/a> that influenced me: \u201cBird by Bird\u201d is everyone\u2019s favorite, and mine, too. Today, lots of people are doing very good research and writing on creativity\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/todd-henry\/\">Todd Henry<\/a> comes to mind, as does <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnCleese?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">John Cleese<\/a> (yes, the Monty Python guy). On innovation, I like the work of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sethgodin.com\/\">Seth Godin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/adam-grant-interview\/\">Adam Grant<\/a>, and the folks at IDEO. And I must give a shout out to my fellow \u201cquestionologists\u201d such as <a href=\"https:\/\/halgregersen.com\/\">Hal Gregersen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksesno.com\/\">Frank Sesno<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/rightquestion.org\/\">Right Question Institute<\/a>, and others pursuing this important subject.<\/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>Learn to enjoy the process of writing. Don\u2019t think too much about future results, i.e., best-selling books or movie deals or literary acclaim. That may or may not ever come. But if you love the act of writing, and the thrill of exploring ideas and crafting your work, that is the real reward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">___________<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-ccd1\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--h3 m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--leading\">Ready to create a writing routine of your\u00a0own?<\/h3>\n<p id=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-9a9e\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--p m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf-after--h3\">Sign up now and receive our free guide\u00a0<em>\u201c<a class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--anchor m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1514038873687000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH5yl1byOuXmZDdLI8muC9FJDeFvg\"><span class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--strong m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-strong\">12 Essential Writing Routines To Help You To Craft Your Own<\/span><\/a><span class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--strong m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-strong\">.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"m_-8554750413077525544e4c2\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--p m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf-after--p\">Learn from the routines of superstar authors\u00a0<em class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--em m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-em\">Stephen King, Gertrude Stein, John Grisham, Ernest Hemingway, Neil Gaiman, and many more.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"m_-8554750413077525544e2d7\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--h4 m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf-after--p m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--trailing\"><a class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--anchor m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--h4-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1514038873687000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH5yl1byOuXmZDdLI8muC9FJDeFvg\"><span class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--strong m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--h4-strong\">Get the free guide\u00a0here!<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who:\u00a0Warren Berger Claim To Fame: Warren Berger is the author of many books including the bestselling A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas and the internationally acclaimed\u00a0Glimmer: How Design Can Transform Business and Your Life.
