“Well, first you have to love writing. A lot of authors love having written. But I enjoy the actual writing. Beside that, I think the main reason I can be so prolific is the huge amount of planning I do before I start to write. I do a very complete, chapter-by-chapter outline of every book I write. When I sit down to write, I already know everything that's going to happen in the book. This means I've done all the important thinking, and I can relax and enjoy the writing. I could never write so many books if I didn't outline them first.” IfsThinkingKnowsWritingFirstsWellsMeanI CanImportantBookReasonDoneHappensEnjoyWrittenHugeAmountPlanningRelaxChaptersOutlines Author:R.

“Most of life is so dull that there is nothing to be said about it, and the books and talks that would describe it as interesting are obliged to exaggerate, in the hope of justifying their own existence. Inside its cocoon of work or social obligation, the human spirit slumbers for the most part, registering the distinction between pleasure and pain, but not nearly as alert as we pretend. There are periods in the most thrilling day during which nothing happens, and though we continue to exclaim, "I do enjoy myself", or , "I am horrified," we are insincere.” HumansSaidBookHappensPainLife IsSpiritSocialEnjoyPleasureInterestingExistencePeriodsThings HappenObligationDullDistinctionHuman SpiritThrillingObligedSlumberPain And PleasureCocoonsInsincereSocial Obligation Author:E.

“If to enjoy even an enjoyable present we must have the assurance of a happy future, we are “crying for the moon.” We have no such assurance. The best predictions are still matters of probability rather than certainty, and to the best of our knowledge every one of us is going to suffer and die. If, then, we cannot live happily without an assured future, we are certainly not adapted to living in a finite world where, despite the best plans, accidents will happen, and where death comes at the end.” IfsWorldStillsEndsMatterHappensSufferingDiesEnjoyPlansCryMoonAccidentsDespiteCertaintyPredictionsProbabilityFiniteAssuranceAssuredEnjoyableAdaptedIf Then Book:The Wisdom of Insecurity Source: The Wisdom of Insecurity
