I can’t stop thinking about this exchange between Brandon Sanderson and Tim Ferriss. Brandon Sanderson is a New York Times #1 bestselling fiction author. He’s sold 40 million books. He wrote five entire books just for practice, knowing full well he wanted to be a professional author. That’s dedication... to the craft.show more

Pardon the auto captions — Patrick Rothfuss is the author he mentions at the end.

@tferriss @BrandSanderson Accept the reps you know will be required to get to the place you’ve dreamt you want to go. Get quiet. Get grateful. Get to work. 💯🙏🏼

@tferriss @BrandSanderson I’ve written two and I feel like I’m just starting to be get the hang of it.

@tferriss @BrandSanderson Sanderson is inhuman when it comes to output. My favorite story of his was (not on this pod), was that he knew he wrote best at night so didn’t want to get a job during the day. He got a job as a night watchman at a “not-very-busy” motel so he could write.

@tferriss @BrandSanderson It's always inspiring to watch people who are this dedicated to their craft. It also proves if you truly want to achieve greatness, you have to do stuff others aren't willing to do.

@tferriss @BrandSanderson This is insane

absolutely nuts

Ohhh I have to watch this, Sanderson is one of my favs...he's definitely a master at his craft. He also wrote 4 books during Covid...like sir, what?

insane

@tferriss @BrandSanderson An amazing podcast for sure. He's a machine for sure.
