Who:<\/span> Rob Goodman<\/h3>\n

Claim to fame:<\/span> He worked as a speechwriter for Congressman Steny Hoyer and Senator Chris Dodd–and during his tenure as their writers, both were named most eloquent member of Congress. His recent book, A MIND AT PLAY<\/a><\/em>, has earned praise from the Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, and Fortune Magazine.<\/h3>\n

Why\u2019d we pick him, in ten words:<\/span> Rob’s done speechwriting, academic work, essays, and books–and how!<\/h3>\n

Where to find him:<\/span> On Amazon<\/a> and at Columbia University<\/a><\/h3>\n

Age when he started:<\/span> \u00a0\u201cI think I\u2019ve written in some form or another for as long as I could remember, but the first time I really started to think seriously about writing was when I wrote a regular column for my college newspaper. I don\u2019t know if those columns stand the test of time, but they were definitely the first time I started to take really seriously the idea of getting better at writing.”<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the basics: What time of day do you start writing? Is it easier for you to write early in the morning? Late at night?<\/b><\/h3>\n

I usually don\u2019t get going until the afternoon. I like to save my mornings for reading, researching, and thinking about my writing agenda for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your preferred tool for writing\u2014a word processor like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, etc.? A pen and paper?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Definitely a word processor–I haven\u2019t written much on paper since elementary school (with the exception of blue book exams in college, which I hated). I\u2019m pretty indifferent between different word processors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you listen to music when you write, or do you prefer silence, or something else in the background?<\/b><\/h3>\n

I prefer quiet, but if I need to drown out background noise, I\u2019ll listen to some classical music. I\u2019m particularly a fan of <\/span>Handel<\/span><\/a>, but the important thing is that the music can\u2019t have words, or else I won\u2019t be able to concentrate at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any pre-writing rituals or habits?<\/b><\/h3>\n

My favorite part of the work day is sitting down with a cup of coffee to read whatever book I happen to be reading for fun. Things seem less daunting when I can start off with something I\u2019m really looking forward to.<\/span><\/p>\n

How many words a day do you produce, or try to produce? How much of that ever sees the light of day?<\/b><\/h3>\n

I aim for 1,000 words a day–it doesn\u2019t seem like much, but it\u2019s remarkable how quickly it adds up if I can stick to it every day. I also make sure to start fresh every day: I don\u2019t beat myself off if I didn\u2019t make it to 1,000 words the day before, and I don\u2019t take it easy if I wrote extra the day before. Most of what I write ends up seeing the light of day, mainly because I write at a fairly slow rate–I\u2019m always trying to write and edit as I go. Sometimes I think I\u2019d like to be one of those people who writes thousands of words every day and the only keeps the best, but I\u2019ve never been able to work like that.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you first sit down to write, how do you start? What goes through your mind when fingers are first meeting keys (or pen hits paper)?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Usually I alternate between staring at the screen and wasting time on the internet for several hours until panic sets in. The good news is that it sets in pretty reliably.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your process for editing your work?<\/b><\/h3>\n

I mentioned that I try to write deliberately as I go so that even my first drafts will be presentable and polished, but the most useful thing for editing is always getting feedback from people you trust. For books, it\u2019s always good to exchange feedback with my co-author, Jimmy Soni; for academic work, there are always works-in-progress seminars and conferences to take advantage of for feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have an author whose voice or style you\u2019re trying to emulate when you\u2019re writing?<\/b><\/h3>\n

It really depends on the genre of work I\u2019m doing–I always try to keep models in mind, though the model will change depending on what I\u2019m working on. For the book on Cato the Younger, Jimmy and I were constantly referring to Tom Holland\u2019s book on the Roman Republic, <\/span>Rubicon<\/span><\/i><\/a>; for <\/span>our book on Claude Shannon<\/span><\/a>, to James Gleick\u2019s <\/span>The Information<\/span><\/i><\/a> and Sylvia Nasar\u2019s <\/span>A Beautiful Mind<\/span><\/i><\/a>. For my academic work, people like Danielle Allen are great models.<\/span><\/p>\n

When writing gets tough for you, what does that look and feel like? When do you hit stumbling blocks? How do you get through them?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Usually it looks like procrastination getting out of hand, when I spend way too much time reading useless things online rather than getting down to work. I imagine I\u2019m especially prone to do this when I\u2019m particularly anxious about whatever I\u2019m working on that day–but it\u2019s a recurring problem. The most important thing is not to unduly beat myself up about it, and to remember that I get to start each day with a clean slate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any favorite books <\/b>about <\/i><\/b>writing and the creative process? <\/b><\/h3>\n

I\u2019d recommend anything by my college advisor, George Gopen, particularly <\/span>The Sense of Structure: Writing from the Reader\u2019s Perspective<\/span><\/i><\/a>. It\u2019s one of the best guides to the basics of composition, though I was fortunate to get most of the material in it directly in the classroom as an undergrad.<\/span><\/p>\n

When did your aspirations to become a writer begin?<\/b><\/h3>\n

I think I\u2019ve written in some form or another for as long as I could remember, but the first time I really started to think seriously about writing was when I wrote a regular column for my college newspaper. I don\u2019t know if those columns stand the test of time, but they were definitely the first time I started to take really seriously the idea of getting better at writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

You were a speechwriter for two members of Congress. How did that prepare you to write books, if at all?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Two big ways: first, I learned very quickly that when you\u2019re a speechwriter, you have to produce words on a tight deadline, regardless of how \u201cinspired\u201d you happen to be feeling that day. That was great practice for developing discipline as a writer. Second, the process of getting speeches approved–usually by several senior staff members and then by the member of Congress–helped me to develop a thick skin about being edited.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are some of your favorite speeches?<\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no beating the 18th century House of Commons: <\/span>Edmund Burke<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Charles James Fox<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Richard Brinsley Sheridan<\/span><\/a>–they don\u2019t make \u2018em like they used to.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you handle the split of academic writing in political theory and writing for popular audiences in magazines and books? <\/b><\/h3>\n

It helps to remember that good, clear writing is the same everywhere, even if the expectations of the genre you\u2019re writing in are different. I hope that writing in several different areas makes my writing in all of them stronger–for instance, in avoiding jargon in my academic writing, and in trying to make my popular writing more rigorous and thoughtful–than the reverse.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
