1. Work on one thing at a time until finished.
2. Start no more new books, add no more new material to “Black Spring.”
3. Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in
hand.
4. Work according to the program and not according to mood. Stop at the
appointed time!
5. When you can’t create you can work.
6. Cement a little every day, rather than add new fertilizers.
7. Keep human! See people; go places, drink if you feel like it.
8. Work with pleasure only.
9. Discard the Program when you feel like it–but go back to it the next
day. Concentrate. Narrow down. Exclude.
10. Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are
writing.
11. Write first and always. Painting, music, friends, cinema, all these
come afterward.
