Anne Frank.

A Little Context.
Thomas Mann wrote a page per day while working on one of his most celebrated novels.
When I heard that (from a Henry Miller interiew), I was astounded.
A page per day = 365 pages per year.
That's circa a book per year. Or a book every other year, if you write poorly a lot of the time.
This still leaves space for letters, journaling, whatever.
And space for life, travel, family.
Even if you're distracted much of the time, the work still gets done.
It's a ritual, a practice, an artform.
Moving from sreen to screen as life passes by?
Welcome to A New Kind Of Challenge
The soul longs to sing.

Steven Budden
Author + Creative + Writer
Leading Breakthrough Coach and Mentor
I've been a healer since I broke my neck in 2008. It was a huge wakeup call for me, and sent me hurtling on a path of learning and unlearning.
I started using typewriters in 2002, during graduate school, because analog, non-digital mediums are healing for me.
I've written a host of books, including healing manuals and secret novels. I also maintain blogs, substacks, etc.
Now I consult on writing, creativity, healing, and whatever else might ail ye.
Welcome to the new world, my friend.
Write on.
