I believe rightly or wrongly that I suffer from writer's block or rather the "fear of the blank page" since I'm good at editing. This article is one of the few pieces I came across that gave the desire to definitely overcome that fear. It's well writing for sure. It's inspiring to try and emulate. But the Big Idea that created that spark in my mind: the three processes of Reading, Thinking and Writing being part of a larger one.
I found you and this article thanks to David Perrell (your compilation of his best ideas is obviously my next read). And I like the way Naval tweets his ideas.
I really enjoyed this one. Reminds me of one of my favorite lines in A River Runs Through It, "...the art of writing lay in thrift." I think about that line EVERY time I'm writing something. And now, I'll also think to write like Naval.
Thanks a lot Justin.

Thank you for the post. I thought you might be interested in the origins of the Twitter character limit.

The kind of article you wish you read before you began to write articles of your own. So good Justin
Wow how good is this?!

Very much appreciate this, Scott. I love that movie and I'd forgotten that line. "Eventually all things merge into one, and a river runs through it."
Thanks so much, Victoria, your comment means a lot (and makes the writing worth it)!
