Ernest Hemingway said this:

You write until you come to a place where you still have your juice and know what will happen next and you stop and try to live through until the next day when you hit it again.

He was talking about writing books, but I find his advice perfectly apt for what I’m doing with Daring Fireball. Without having a boss or editor, I could do anything at the start of the day. Leaving off the day before with something specific in mind for what to do next is an enormous aid to getting going.

Oh let us turn our thoughts today
to Martin Luther King
and recognize that there are ties between us
all men and women
living on the Earth
ties of hope and love
sister and brotherhood

That we are bound together
in our desire to see the world become
a place in which our children
can grow free and strong

We are bound together
by the task that stands before us
and the road that lies ahead
we are bound
and we are bound
