Unlock the Secret Creative Mindset That Transformed Ray Bradbury’s Writing Forever

He suggests writing 1,000-2,000 words a day, one short story a week for fifty-two weeks a year for five years. Eventually that quantity will produce works of quality. This is something I’ve found works with poetry. If I write a poem almost every day for three months, there will be a few pieces that can be polished and worthy of submission.

Bradbury talks about the necessity of long-term practice to gain expertise, but here too he has a unique take, because he talks about becoming proficient enough at writing that one can relax into it, until it’s no longer work in the sense that it requires intense focus and effort. This reminded me of learning choreography in dance class, where we would do a routine over and over until it became second nature and was embedded in our muscle memory. When we get that comfortable with writing, we can truly fly, but it takes a lot of practice to get there.
