The Flywheel

I stop every day at the point where I feel I can write more.  Do that and the next day's work goes surprisingly smoothly. I think Ernest Hemmingway did something like that.  To keep on going, you have to keep up the rhythm.  This is the important thing for long-term projects.  Once you set the pace, the rest will follow.  The problem is getting the flywheel to spin at a set speed - and to get to that point takes as much concentration and effort as you can manage.
