Joseph Roth’s Tips for Writers

wwnorton:

  1. Read more of the greats and the immortals: Shakespeare, Balzac, Flaubert!
  2. No Gide! No Proust! Nor anything of the sort!
  3. The Bible. Homer.
  4. Don’t distrust the “reader” too much!
  5. Try to keep yourself clear of journalism at heart.
  6. No interest in day-to-day politics. They distort. They distort the human.
  7. There’s really no need for you to write serials! F*#k them. All they’re good for is a hat for the wife and a dress for the girlfriend.

From Joseph Roth: A Life in Letters.

What do you do?

I am currently a full time entrepreneur working on film and software projects under 13Bit Productions.

Before that I worked in software, finance, robotics, and new media - always writing software or building stuff - like that time I took apart the mouse at the hedge fund so that the scroll wheel would be disabled.
