How John Grisham Writes So Many Books
John Grisham has written an entire book every year for the past 10 to 15 years. I’ve always assumed that he was either superhuman or he worked with a team of ghostwriters.
Turns out that it’s not that complicated. He has a process and the discipline to follow the process.
Here’s his short talk to Random House on how he writes.
John Grisham’s Process –
- Start a book in January. Finish drafting in March. Ready for publication in July.
- From January to March, write from 7am to 10am every day for 5 days per week.
- Write between 1000 to 2000 words per day within an outline that is already completed.
- Use the same offline computer at the same desk with the same coffee.
