Great post, Adam! I think you're absolutely correct: writers write. Congratulations on finishing the first draft of your second novel. I'm looking forward to reading both of them.
Thanks for sharing your journey. Good insights into the writing life. Melville's mind,too, and U.S.Grant, writing his entire 400 page autobiography in longhand in one fell swoop, and then dying 4 days after its completion, is illustrative. He had it all in his head; I don't think there was extensive editing of what he wrote. I hear his autobio is pretty highly regarded as a literary work, as well as historical work.

Oh, I could write a book about that. But I won't. Suffice to say that line sparked me. Thanks, and kudos on your diligent battle against homeostasis! 👏

Stay at it mate. The end of the beginning and the beginning led you here.
My book has just gone to the production team. 🤫 still waiting to be found out.
Flow well
Hell yeah man. Looking forward to both. Congrats on the progress and appreciate you continuing to share aspects about the journey.
Resistance: "But, but ..."
Writer: That's a spelling error. It's 'butt'. Butt in chair. 🫡
