... over at Goodreads.com. A sample:
GR: You've mentioned that you use a different writing system for each book. You famously wrote the nearly 3,000-page Baroque Cycle with a fountain pen. Did this book demand a new system? Describe a typical day spent writing.
NS: In this case I used a very similar process. Up in the morning, go to office, read through yesterday's pages and edit them, then move on to writing new pages. By 10 or 11 in the morning I'm done. Eventually I transfer it into a computer. Then I go exercise and spend the afternoon working on something completely unrelated. The only real difference between how I wrote Anathem and how I wrote The Baroque Cycle was that in the case of Anathem I printed out the manuscript and read through it quite a bit more frequently than I did in the case of The Baroque Cycle.
Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow.

I can accept failure, but I can't accept give up.

I guess the point is to give and save as much as you can and make your money work for you like the good servant we should strive to be.

After decades in the jungles of fringe science, the placebo effect has become the elephant in the boardroom.
