you've written so much how do what is
your writing pro how do you
do you just are you disciplined are you
just prolific are you getting you know
revelations from sort of you know
spiritual beings on high i am
extraordinarily disciplined because i'm
a very slow writer
you know really okay if i could if i
could write at the speed of ben shapiro
i would have a hundred million books
because i am i'm nothing if not
disappointing you know when i was a kid
the
people who turned me on to literature
when i was a kid were the tough guy
right the american tough guy writers
among them raymond chandler who wrote
the philip marlow detective stories and
there was a book called i think raymond
chandler speaking or something like that
which was his letters and kind of a
casual remarks in one of those letters
he said
you should you should have four hours a
day
during which you do nothing else but
right and i took that advice on and i
wrote my first novel when i was 14 years
old sometimes i was working four hours
from three in the morning till seven in
the morning but i just stuck to that and
it became second nature to me
