Praise For Rob:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIf you want a more interesting and creative life, the first thing to do is to start paying better attention to it. In The Art of Noticing<\/em><\/a>, Rob Walker provides an essential guide to becoming an explorer of your everyday world. I found a ton to steal here and so will you.\u201d \u2014 Austin Kleon, New York Times bestselling author of Steal Like An Artist<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

When<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0where<\/a>\u00a0do you like to write? Are you the\u00a0same-thing-every-day kind of writer<\/a>\u00a0or can you write anytime, anywhere?<\/h3>\n

I have worked from home for about 20 years (four houses in three cities) and over that time I\u2019ve always had a dedicated office where I do most of my work. I\u2019ve certainly written in newsrooms, and occasionally cafes or other public spaces, and hotel rooms and that sort of thing, but I\u2019m most comfortable in my own space. As for when, that\u2019s changed over time, I am more productive earlier in the day now; I can\u2019t do the up-all-night thing anymore!<\/p>\n

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

Not exactly. But I do a lot of writing \u201cin my head\u201d before I actually begin writing \u2014 I think about the opening in particular, I usually have that sorted out before I start. I try to have a general sense of the shape of whatever I\u2019m starting. This often changes during the process. But the point is that having the opener in my head means that when I start I actually have a start<\/em>, I\u2019m not just sitting there looking at a screen.<\/p>\n

What do you do when the writing isn’t coming easy? Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing:\u00a0writer\u2019s block<\/a>?<\/h3>\n

I get up and walk around quite a bit. I\u2019ve heard about writers who lie down or nap, I couldn\u2019t possibly do that; I\u2019m too keyed up. But I\u2019ll walk the length of the house and go out on the back porch, maybe even throw a ball for the dog \u2013 and, again, trying to write in my head, try to work out the specific problem I\u2019m having. I don\u2019t often have writer\u2019s block in the sense of being totally unable to write, it\u2019s usually more like getting stuck on a problem (how do I get across this point more quickly etc. etc.). Maybe that\u2019s what all writer\u2019s block is, and I just find it less intimidating to frame it as just solving a series of discrete problems.<\/p>\n

Great writers tend to be great readers and researchers. What does your reading and researching process look like? Do you have a system or method for capturing and organizing material you may want to use in future books, articles, or newsletters<\/a>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m definitely an info hoarder \u2013 I\u2019m interested in lots of things, and there\u2019s so much that I think \u201cOh there could be a piece in this at some point.\u201d I\u2019ve cycled through many systems, from clipped articles in folders, to digitally cut and pasted stuff in Word documents (again organized in folders, but digital), and for the last few years in Evernote. I lately have been having some doubts about Evernote, so, maybe something else will emerge as a new solution. But right now I have lots of \u201cpotentially useful\u201d material spread out across all these venues. Plus I keep certain kinds of ideas in physical notebooks. So it\u2019s a mess, and the only thing that holds it together is memory \u2014\u00a0which is a pretty precarious strategy, but there you have it.<\/p>\n

In addition to your books, you are a columnist for Marker, and have written columns in the past for The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, and Slate Do you find that your routine and process differs between writing a column and writing a book?<\/h3>\n

Definitely my process changes to match whatever is paying the bills. And I\u2019ve had different feelings at different times about the pace I am most interested in \u2013 more rapid fire, more slow burn. I often have both going on at the same time: something short-term like a column, while there\u2019s some longer-term project, more of a feature or maybe a book or maybe something outside journalism, in the background.<\/p>\n

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

This is of course the ultimate challenge, and I don\u2019t know that I have great advice or have always made the right decisions! (I spend a lot more time thinking about the stories that didn\u2019t happen than the ones that went well.) All I can say here is that it\u2019s good to have a circle or network of people you can try ideas out with. I don\u2019t mean actively saying, \u201cHey I\u2019m thinking about X, is that a good story in your opinion?\u201d I mean more like conversationally observing something about X and seeing whether the person you\u2019re talking to appears to care \u2013 whether they think you\u2019re right or wrong or whatever, just trying to judge if you\u2019re onto something. I\u2019m not suggesting being sneaky, or turning all your interactions into focus groups. But one well-known way of framing any story is to boil down how you would describe it at a party or a dinner or whatever \u2013 so I just try to do a lot of that. Genuine conversation (in person or on the phone or online) is a good way of exploring what\u2019s interesting to people and why.<\/p>\n

What\u00a0books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/h3>\n

Someday I\u2019ll write something about influence, but in general I always dodge this question. Once I start naming people all I can think about is who I\u2019m leaving out or forgetting, and it\u2019s just torture.<\/p>\n

What is your\u00a0advice to aspiring writers<\/a>?<\/h3>\n

First, make sure you\u2019re really an aspiring writer, and not just drifting into it. If you don\u2019t want it badly, do something else. It\u2019s a difficult career. It\u2019s totally worth it if you really want it \u2014 but it\u2019s totally not if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Second, when you\u2019re early in your career, be open to taking on opportunities and challenges that weren\u2019t exactly what you had in mind. Don\u2019t be proud. Maybe you want to write features for The New York Times Magazine. Chances are good that you might have to do some other things first. My first NYC job was at American Lawyer, which is not something I aspired to \u2013 but I learned a lot, worked with amazing people (many of whom remained contacts throughout my career), and challenged myself as a writer and report. I mean, I was happy to move on eventually, but it opened up new possibilities. So don\u2019t worry, when you\u2019re starting out, about landing a dream job right away. Be open minded about learning new things, and do your best. Good work is good work.<\/p>\n
