I will write a book on the ideas that've been emerging for the last five years. It's part of the overall Think, Try, Learn vision of creating a book teaching the theory and practice, and a software platform for applying the ideas. I'll apply the writing techniques and philosophies that I come across that resonate. |

One component of success is clearly enjoying the creative writing process. Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird has been marvelously helpful. The ultimate success is a finished book that gets the ideas across clearly and concisely. The point is to change the way people think and help them to be happier. I can measure that by asking some of my readers (I hope to have some!) and noticing how they do (or don't) adopt the work. Again, I need to separate desire (an end result) from the process (which I can guarantee will be successful). |

When I have a book that meets the need above (helps people). This may take a while... |

Comments & Observations
Matthew Cornell Already the time management challenge is clear. Although I teach it, it's of course different when applied to myself. Discipline is my first obstacle. I'll try a mini-experiment of sitting on my ass until I pump out 300 words minimum. Unfortunately, today I went negative when I removed fluff. The I will consider a ritual of carving out writing time, say in the mornings. This next week will be interesting as I recover from my surgery (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/139).
Apr 11, 2010
Matthew Cornell Thought I'd add this: A well-published neighbor (serendipity!) got me moving by suggesting that I put aside my structuring of the ideas (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/130), think of entry point, and get writing! Do it unplanned and just build momentum. That was the nudge I needed, as I'm at risk of collecting information and playing with it forever.
Apr 11, 2010
Matthew Cornell A little mini-experiment, I'll carve out the entire morning (3 hours) to write, and I'll track my word count.
Apr 12, 2010
Matthew Cornell Already the inner critic is doubting the approach I'm taking this morning, that of picking a section/topic I'm excited about writing, and pumping it out blog/essay -style. What the hell, I'll try it!
Apr 12, 2010
Matthew Cornell Word count: 1922 - 1243 = 679. Discipline not stellar, but feels like good results. Did pretty well not forcing into coherent flow, and ended up happening (somewhat!) anyway. Pulling a lot from my mindmap, journal entries, and blog posts.
Apr 12, 2010
Matthew Cornell As usual, the reality of writing is different than my expectations. From a productivity perspective, I'll try a little experiment, which I hope to learn from: I'll track how many words I write per day, and how long it took to write them, and see if any surprises emerge. This will provide facts and possibly some brutal motivation.
Re process, I don't think setting aside a fixed time or minutes works well for me. I certainly will try for Lamott's "even 300 words" as a minimum.
Today's stats (date, # words, # minutes): 2010-04-16 343 34
Apr 16, 2010
Matthew Cornell Feeling a bit better from the gum surgery (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/139), so put in some writing. Stats: 2010-04-18 390 75
True side note: I was writing a few days ago and got drawn into spending a lot time on a diagram :-O . I was trying to reconcile the time spent vs. actually writing words, and working to figure out what the picture's value. Then it hit me - 1,000 words. ;-)
Apr 18, 2010
Matthew Cornell 2010-04-18 212 90
sometimes #words goes negative...
Apr 18, 2010
Matthew Cornell Getting into the habit of tracking output/progress is a standard productivity idea (with a TTL intersection), but is so very helpful. In this case, by simply tracking time and # words I am more motivated to be disciplined. Public accountability here is another factor. In one sense it doesn't matter the # words; the act of measuring makes a difference. (Very TTL, baby.)
Apr 19, 2010
Matthew Cornell I don't know how fiction writers do it, but I have a body of prose from partially-expressed ideas that I've captured in the last five years, esp. the last two, and I'm tapping into that as I write. This is different from my interpretation of Lamott's "put everything aside and just write" idea. Why not do it my way?
Apr 20, 2010
Matthew Cornell I was finding myself having to push to write the "Obstacles" section of my childish first draft, but I continued because I think they're important. However, I choose to look at the struggle as data that means I'm not ready to write that section. And because this is a draft, I will toss that section into the "prose snippets bucket" and move on to a section that flows more naturally. In this case, the "Enjoying the ride" section.
Apr 26, 2010
Matthew Cornell It's hard not wanting to include everything I've thought about. When new ideas come to me - such as the value of using the language - I want to put it in my little draft. But that might keep it from ever getting done. I'll continue tucking the ideas away and trying to trust that they'll pop up when I need them.
Related: I'm concerned that there are deeper and subtler aspects of this work that will be difficult to get across. There's the practical side - like David Allen's phases and diagram in GTD - but also the philosophical underpinnings and implications. A challenge!
Apr 27, 2010
Matthew Cornell I discovered I expected my writing style for the book to be different than that of my smaller works - my 30 page "Where the !@#% did my day go?". Something deeper-sounding, I suppose. I'll just keep going and not judge. AMAP
Apr 28, 2010
Matthew Cornell Here's something unexpected: A satisfying feeling of surprise and delight at having something unplanned pop out of my brain and through my fingers into words. Entertaining myself through writing. Sweet.
Apr 28, 2010
Matthew Cornell If find it helpful when my discipline sucks (which is always) to a) commit to just 30 minutes, and b) to aim for some element of completion, such as a section. This is pretty modest, and I judge it poorly, but at least it's *something*.
Apr 29, 2010
Fredrik As the goal is to write (used to write articles for a magazine) I felt that it help to set the goal at number of words written. Just setting the time could let me get away by just sitting. A goal on number of words, lines, paragraphs gives the result that you actually have to write...
Apr 30, 2010
Matthew Cornell That's an excellent argument, Fredrik. I was thinking of the minutes as a motivator to get myself focused, but I'm now going to shoot for 300 words. New sub-experiment! Thanks for your comment.
May 02, 2010
Matthew Cornell Continuing my tiny 30 minute writing sessions, but will up it today, as I'm continuing to feel better from the surgery.
May 12, 2010
Matthew Cornell While thinking about my childish first draft of my book, and how unclear it was what I need to include, it hit me - I DON'T HAVE TO GET IT PERFECTLY RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. In other words, I remembered that it's an experiment. Going further, an obstacle I've written about is going too long without data. In this case, the data will be feedback on this draft. Instead of guessing what I need to write, I'll let the *data* (i.e., my kind reviewers) tell me.
May 19, 2010
Brock Tice Sure, not to mention, are you going to have an editor look it over? Might want to hire one on elance or something if you don't have one lined up.
May 20, 2010
Matthew Cornell Brock, when the time is right, *definitely* I'll hire an editor. I've seen the results of not doing so, and the opposite.
May 21, 2010
Brock Tice Yeah, case in point, "A New Kind of Science".
May 21, 2010
Matthew Cornell Brock: Quite true. I hate it when poor writing or editing gets in the way of the message. I have a number of self-published books sent to me that fit this category. Mine won't!
May 21, 2010
Matthew Cornell To shake things loose I'm going to take my friend Mat's advice and write a "letter to a friend" explaining the ideas conversationally. Already I've found things flow really quick. I'm not sure where this is going, but I'll give it a shot. The best I've been managing on the childish first draft is 30 minutes/day at most. To let the main ideas emerge I'll go back through my journal and focus on the important experiences I had. I'll use these stories in the letter to make it a "wet" (i.e., non-dry) version of my writing. A mini-experiment!
May 21, 2010
Matthew Cornell I'm continuing the "letter to a friend" experiment. What's popping out is that this is a way to approach teaching TTL to people from the story angle. This is different from the current draft's approach of concept-driven. This will be valuable if I keep it a prototype, and not put too much time into it. Then again, I'm actively discovering What Matters here, so it might be important.
May 23, 2010
Matthew Cornell It's /very/ tempting to go back and make edits, but I'm resisting it. To do so would presuppose data, which I won't have until I get feedback. Besides, it's just a silly little first draft :-)
May 24, 2010
Matthew Cornell O-KAY! I finished the childish draft's final section, chopping out lots of possible ideas so that I have something to pass around and collect data. Treating it as a work in progress helps me lighten up. It's just a little test to see how this particular approach goes over. The final count: I wrote about 8,000 words (19 pages) in 24 hours over five weeks. Data!
I've already learned a lot from this exercise:
o I don't love the case study idea (interviewing)
o I would like to try writing with more examples througout [see ttl-ideas-as-a-simple-letter.txt]
o I would like to try recurrences like TTL cycle, etc. [see ttl-book-trial-web-only-most-important-2010-04-09.mm]
o I'm not sure about the dry, concept-based approach
o I like the introductory material
o I'd like more diagrams
o I'd like to make general statements more specific. E.g., instead of "when you've learned something" use "when you figured out that alcohol destabilizes your mood". Lots from my life and from Edison.
Next step: I'll share it with folks to collect some solid data. Congrats to me!
May 26, 2010
Matthew Cornell Copies of the draft are on their way! I expect that taking in the comments in a positive way might be a challenge. I'll need to continue to focus on the draft as a tiny little experiment to test one treatment idea, and not take it personally. The comments are regarding the treatment, not me.
May 28, 2010
Lizzy congrats on getting through the first draft, that's huge!
May 28, 2010
Matthew Cornell I see one of my reviewers has responded. It's hard for me to open that email impersonally! Need to adopt ttl: data has arrived. I'm curious how what I tried worked. It's an experiment, not me. Etc. Advice welcome!
Jun 01, 2010
Brock Tice Are you doing this in stages? I've not seen a copy yet.
Jun 02, 2010
Brock Tice Whoops, found it in my archive. Must have slipped through the cracks somewhere. Will get back to you ASAP!
Jun 02, 2010
Brock Tice Oho, not sure what you call this (coincidence, irony, serendipity?), but it seems to be one of a large number of files incorrectly filed by my GetFriday VA!
Jun 02, 2010
Brock Tice Sorry for the comment spam. After reflection, I think the word is 'meta', as in, "That's very /meta/".
Jun 02, 2010
Matthew Cornell Not sure I follow, Brock. Your VA lost the attachment? Plus, what's the META reference?
Jun 04, 2010
Brock Tice My prior VA filed the email in a very wrong place, so I never saw it. Found it using search. It's 'meta' because my TTL experiment caused me to miss something related to your TTL experiment, which is about your TTL book. All kinds of self-reference and levels of abstraction. Hence, "meta".
Jun 04, 2010
Matthew Cornell I feel my brain stretching after reading your comment :-) Nice.
Jun 07, 2010
Matthew Cornell In trying to keep a healthy sense of detachment, I heard an author say "What the book tries to do..." I like that expression because it separates the creator from the creation.
Jun 10, 2010
Matthew Cornell OK, I've given it enough time so I'll start reviewing my reviews this week. Time to move this baby to the next step! My attitude will be looking at each topic I covered and how I addressed it, and using the responses as data about the effectiveness of each one. I'll also take in overall comments. Data!
Jun 15, 2010
Brock Tice Looking forward to the results! Have you tracked how much time you put into it up to that draft? I'm curious. Also curious to see how much times comes after before a finished product.
Jun 16, 2010
Matthew Cornell ~24 hours total, which is really surprising given that it felt like a lot more. That's because I wrote it in ~40 tiny increments averaging 40 minutes each over 40 days. Hey! That's a lot of 40s :-) The relatively slow progress is probably due to super high stress I'm under right now, plus just getting the ideas to come out in a readable form. Reviewing the comments is on my tasks list but I'm feeling some resistance. Good grist for the mill.
Jun 20, 2010
Matthew Cornell Just an update: Totally stuck, partly due to exhaustion, and partly to avoidance. Got some professional advice on how to proceed, but vacation is in a few days.
Jul 07, 2010
Matthew Cornell Matt is back! I feel like I've emerged from my eight month crisis, and I'm ready to jump back in. I wrote the draft in 30 minute/day increments, which is both disappointing (so little time spent per day) and amazing (I wrote it during personally trying times). I'm taking a reader's suggestion that I need to train my concentration muscles and push through the ~20-30 minute point where I tire out. "You have to try to push yourself, each day, a little farther than is comfortable. Over time, your threshold raises." From: On the Value of Hard Focus (http://calnewport.com/blog/2009/06/22/on-the-value-of-hard-focus/). I'll continue my spreadsheet tracking words and time.
Aug 03, 2010
Matthew Cornell It's not clear what approach to take next. There's the ass-in-the-chair just write *something* idea - real work - then there's treating it as an experiment and playing with a new approach. Today I'll try the latter, specifically I'll spend today using what a reader shared: "develop a table of contents for your book in the spirit of having a dialogue with your readers" - http://matthewcornell.org/2010/02/question-you-how-do-you-organize-a-book.html#comment-14858
Aug 04, 2010
Matthew Cornell I've just now finished going through six responses to my question about what questions readers would have when they read the premise and title ("The purpose of this book is to help readers be happier by learning to treat everything in life as a kind of scientific experiment.", "Think, Try, Learn: A scientific method for discovering happiness"). I'm playing with how they might be organized, and there are surprises, which means the exercise is proving valuable. First pass categories: about the reader, reading experience, motivation, participation, results, how does it work, science, experiment. I'll play with them some more, then start writing for each sub-section. Cool.
Aug 12, 2010
Matthew Cornell This is turning out to be a very fruitful approach. I wasn't sure whether I should stick with my first draft, but my gut was to experiment with something different. So far I've discovered the centrality of uncertainty to the philosophy, and I've found that focusing on the reader's questions is making the introductory chapter much more relevant. Also, it's much more natural to introduce many of the concepts early, in the context of example experiments, and to tie in recurrences like the healthy sense of detachment. Sweet!
Aug 19, 2010
Matthew Cornell FYI Starting a "sub-experiment": Write for three hours first thing every morning (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/205)
Aug 20, 2010
Matthew Cornell OK, I just finished my new chapter one, based on the questions I expect readers will have (see above). I'll now send it out to a few folks and and ask how it well it works in conveying the ideas. Let me know if you want to have a look too.
Sep 01, 2010
Matthew Cornell My next experiment in writing is to Write Fast, Write Sloppy. I tend to work over each sentence carefully, which I think is more like what I'll do during final polish and editing. My plan is to work through the mind map I created recently that has topics that are most on my mind, pick one that excites me, then blast out some words. I'll think of it more like the blog essays I've written rather than a "serious" book section. I'll try not to worry about tying them into existing (or new) structures. I'll repeat for a half dozen topics then reassess this experiment, and where I am in the project. I.e,. do I keep this approach, try another experimental approach, etc.
I analyzed 16 of my longer blot posts and got an average of ~950 words. As a guess I'll start out with that as a goal for each ~3h morning writing session: One essay/section of ~950 words. I'm curious to see how this works! [Note: These kinds of experiments are fun, but at some point I'll have to stop playing, decide a "final" structure and chapters, and hunker down. I don't *think* I'm putting off "serious" writing - I am making progress after all.]
Sep 02, 2010
Matthew Cornell Spent yesterday and today's writing time organizing the possible topics, and setting up the process. Today I wrote on being skeptical about the book (unlike other self-help books). Also, I got a late start because of a higher priority (the Facebook Connect project). Fewer words than I hoped (423 instead of 950, and 5.49 wpm), but it's a start. Successful experimenting requires flexibility and compassion.
Sidebar: A little insight: I started another topic and just couldn't get it flowing. After struggling for 10 minutes I realized there's no rule against dropping it and moving on to something that moves *me* more. Felt good.
Sep 03, 2010
Matthew Cornell Incorporated the morning writing routine as a permanent routine. See http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/203 for more. I'm continuing the fast-and-sloppy blog-length experiment, and I'm learning still.
Sep 09, 2010
Matthew Cornell I'm finding the sloppy perspective gives me permission to let the writing choices be Good Enough. E.g., I'm not worrying about the perfect wording or ordering. Quite helpful toward making progress.
Sep 13, 2010
Matthew Cornell Allowing myself to be sloppy is paying off. When I start to get stuck about editing, I'm able to let it go pretty quickly. For example:
o Should I edit this sentence to be shorter? No! Just keep on writing.
o Where should I put this section? Unless there's an obvious better place, leave it right where it is!
o Is this too "bullet-pointy?" Who cares! Even if it looks like a blog post, it's still words on the page.
I'm still trying to trust that I'll be able to use each essay when the times comes.
Sep 15, 2010
Matthew Cornell While writing today it occurs to me that the prose feels a little less important than the thinking involved. Is this normal "this late" in the process? Should the writing be more "final?" Related: Realized that the fast-and-sloppy technique results in some fun down-the-rabbit-hole research. Is this what I want right now?
Update: Thinking about this approach of writing classic IdeaMatt blog-style essays, I wonder if I can tie them together via recurring themes in the book. For example, for Think I might bring together risk, design, and lowering barriers.
Sep 21, 2010
Matthew Cornell Didn't write yesterday (computer problems and a fixed morning appointment), and I'm feeling some internal resistance to the fast-and-sloppy approach. Doubt about whether what I'm writing will be useful. Maybe I need to get a little distance; or change the routine; or hire an editor; or ... Hmm.
Sep 24, 2010
Matthew Cornell OK, after talking with friends I've decide that the next step is to find someone to help me push the book to the next level, including deadlines. I've written two well-known and established authors, who gave me good advice. My guidelines:
o working with someone long-distance is fine
o she must love my work and appreciate my approach - can help me be more incisive
o great for both bouncing ideas off of as well as digging into the written material. help me clarify my ideas and help me with the actual sentences and paragraphs
o It must be the right person
Sep 27, 2010
Matthew Cornell A sister experiment: I'll install LeechBlock and tell it to disable Gmail from 9-12n every day. See: http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/242
Sep 29, 2010
Matthew Cornell OK, I'm struggling with whether to continue the sloppy approach or try something different. I spoke with "Improv Wisdom" author Patricia Ryan Madson yesterday, and what I took away is the need to pull together everything I have so far into a single manuscript. I'm resistant, but it's the right thing to do. To make it less scary, I'll - wait for it - treat it as an experiment. I'm stuck on the structure, but I'll try out one I came up with quite a while ago: Chapters (with titles): https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1oCPnlFZBC_s9jKQu5PcscRHXQO7sFQzNKSJkgkrg70g&hl=en&authkey=CMiosl0
* [intro] All I really need to know I learned at the Science Fair; or, Chop theories, carry goggles
* [method] A madness to your method; or, Repeat, Replicate, Generalize
* [questions, curiosity] Snappy answers to stupid questions; or, Ask, don't tell
* [mental attitude] Minds, books, and parachutes; or, Oh the things you'll believe!
* [risk, courage] What would Edison do?; or, From "Do Not!" to "Why Not?"
* [playfulness, joy, self-care] Banana peels and test tubes; or, Naked myth-busting
* [data, observation] Show me the data; or, Walk softly and carry a big lab book
* [analysis] Professor Mustard in the Laboratory with the Bunsen Burner; or, Well *my* theory is
* [collaboration] Do they make you scribble?; or, All great superheros have sidekicks
* [failure, mistakes] Productive stupidity; or, Collecting wrong answers and asking different questions
* [discovery, eureka, joy, insight] You gotta' see this! or, Why "That's odd" is better than "Eureka!"
* [lifelong scholar] Living for a thinking; or, A day without science...
To reduce structure blockages, if something important doesn't fit in a chapter then I'll put it in a holding one.
Sep 29, 2010
Matthew Cornell OK, I created the 58 page document, went through it, and learned. First, ~10% of the prose is usable at this point, but there are some good sections. Second, the clever chapter titles don't work for me. Third, gave me impetus to go back to basics and look at concepts again, because what I've written so far is way too wordy, and covers way too much that's inessential.
Next experiment: I will try keeping it tight and short, and base it on principles/practices/method/etc, such as done by "Extreme programming pocket guide" and the brilliant "Wabi-Sabi: For Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers".
Oct 06, 2010
Matthew Cornell Update: I've done a lot of work to establish a coherent view of the universe, human behavior, and happiness. I then captured the principles of TTL, and set the stage for explaining the practices. As of Thu this is all outlined in my current prototype (draft), based on the Wabi-Sabi template. I'm really excited about this approach. No stories, short and crisp, and reasoned from first principles.
Nov 01, 2010
Matthew Cornell I'm really liking this approach so far, and how things feel like they connect nicely. Could this be "it?" Scratch that! One step at a time. Remember, Patricia wrote "Improv wisdom" >five times<.
Nov 08, 2010
Matthew Cornell Writing's been dead, primarily by choice due to this experiment: Give myself a break for a week - http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/266 . I'm ready to jump back in Monday, but it's so insidiously easy to not write because there's so much other work to do. Also, my doubt level, which has been low, went up a lot after meeting with someone who studied philosophy some time ago. I realize that nothing is new, but now I'm trying self-talk by saying that perspective matters. After all, GTD is nothing new, but it's a tasty packaging along with a new-to-time-management "mind like water" view. So I continue!
Nov 14, 2010
Matthew Cornell new "child" experiment: create virtual coffee shop for writing: http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/273
Dec 03, 2010
Brock Tice Matt: The time is ripe for the TTL book! It may not be brand new, but its time has come. I really look forward to it!
Dec 06, 2010
Matthew Cornell I'm working on it - writing every morning. Hammering out exactly which TTL Principles are version 0.1-qualified. :-) Thanks, Brock.
Dec 06, 2010
Matthew Cornell An update on my routine: I've set aside 9-12 every weekday for writing. I don't schedule anything during that time. I disable my email program. I run a Mac program that hides Finder icons and other app windows. I go to comfortable, distraction-free places to write. New items: I use a timer to measure how many minutes I'm actually writing (I pause it during breaks), and my goal is at least 180 minutes/day. I take a break once an hour. I haven't formed a words/day goal yet - I'm still hammering out the concepts (but that's very nearly done!)
Dec 08, 2010
Matthew Cornell It's been a while since I've updated, so: As of a month or so I've finished the first three major parts: Introduction, Part I: Metaphysical basis (assumptions), Part II: Principles: The Experiment-Driven Life, and much of Part III: Mindset. I'm in the latter and trying a sub-experiment: A "tell all" account of my four-year consulting experiment - stories of success and (ultimately) failure, and what I learned about TTL as a result. The purpose is to demonstrate the mindset with real (and interesting) examples. It's a stretch for me because I don't think of myself as a storyteller, and because I'm sharing finances, failures, etc. But it feels good to be reflecting and putting it down for people to learn the mindset from. Also, it's relatively easy to write this as compared to the tight, shorter sections before. We'll see!
Jan 12, 2011
Brock Tice You've quit consulting?
Jan 12, 2011
yodayeti Before joining and setting up my own first experiments, I read through this thread. Reading about how you tackle things, how you deal with success and failure and the curiosity which came across from your words, Matt, really inspired me and was one if not the crucial thing to make me want to try experimentation myself. So definitely a hands up for the storytelling! And thanks a lot for sharing all this!
Jan 12, 2011
Matthew Cornell Thank you so much for your kind words, yodayeti. My mission is to share the idea of treating life as an experiment, and so I'm delighted with your feedback. Clearly you're one of the folks who gets it. I'll let you know when the draft is read to read.
Side note: My good friend and experienced author shared that he writes every morning (which I now do), but seven days a week. Jeez! I'm still reeling, but I might try writing on weekends as an experiment. I do childcare every few weekends, so it might not be feasible.
Jan 15, 2011
Matthew Cornell Progress awful. Highly unmotivated, self-doubting, etc. Blah.
Jan 31, 2011
Brock Tice What are your doubts?
Jan 31, 2011
yodayeti I am feeling with you, Matt. Having similar issues here. Do you know where the doubts come from? If motivation is the answer to the why of our acts then what is the continuatin of the sentence "I am not motivated / I do not know why I am writing this book because ..."? What about getting some (peer-)feedback ("peer" as in feedback from a fellow writer) on whatever you already have now?
Jan 31, 2011
Matthew Cornell Thanks, guys; your responses mean a lot to me. I'm depressed right now, so that's coloring things a lot. Doubt is around ability to really do it, comparison to "real" authors' discipline and productivity, the quality of the work, the value of the work to others, and the viability of the current wabi-sabi-xp approach. Thanks yodayeti for your exercise - I'll try it out.
Jan 31, 2011
Brock Tice I like that you put "real" in quotes. You are certainly a real writer, if by "real" you have written, published, and sold your work. You have done that!
Jan 31, 2011
Matthew Cornell Hoping to get un-stuck, I'm starting a sub-experiment: Try Freewriting - http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/show/334
Feb 08, 2011
Brock Tice Sometimes I think the very act of trying something new is actually the important factor, not the new thing being tried.
Feb 08, 2011
