In Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcom Gladwell wrote about super-achievers. One of the things
he examined was the role of sustained practice—the often cited 10,000 hours—in attaining
world-class success.
How many hours a week do you spend writing?
If you wrote for 20 hours each week and kept that up for ten
years, you’d have 10,000 hours of writing practice. If that sounds like a lot
of time, consider that the average American spends more than 20 hours a week
watching television.
How many hours of
writing practice do you think you’ve accumulated over the past year?
