Jonathan Bennett believes writers have to be bull-headed about their work because ultimately nobody cares whether or not they do it. Antanas Sileika had to kill the romance of being a writer and force himself to stop waiting for inspiration. George Murray confesses that on average he throws out 90% of his work. These and other authors explain the absolute necessity of sticking to a schedule, the ways they approach research, and the importance of editing.
