Having some set of ideal circumstances for writing always turned it into a massive timesink that had to compete with my social life and other hobbies. Maybe writing focused at a desk is most productive, but allowing myself to write in bits and pieces standing on the subway, waiting for meetings to start, while eating etc. has allowed it to become a far more integral part of my life, something i'm always doing.

Of course, if writing is your primary job, then it makes sense that it would be ritualized -- just like any other job one has to do every day for multiple hours.

There was a great zen pencils covering this topic, ironically with a Bukowski quote used as the prose/narration. The comic was removed at the request of Bukowski's publisher, but someone else still has the comic up: https://ravenvinnie.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/one-of-my-favorite-comics-charles-bukowski-air-light-time-and-space-by-gavin-zen-pencils-aung/

@nohappy Love that Bukowski quote/poem. @saddleblasters, work certainly changes things but I think the principle of just getting on with it still applies.
