DIE ACTOR DIE

Dead-Frog has a great piece on Jerry Seinfeld’s writing habits.

No surprises here. The key is to write ev-er-yday!

Money shot:

But there’s a bit more to Seinfeld’s work habits that I can detail from other sources. In an interview he did in Franklyn Ajaye’s book “Comic Insights”, he mentions how he considers his writing time his sit time. Without distractions like music or TV, Jerry Seinfeld would say “I’m going to sit for an hour.” Eventually his mind would take over and he would write.

Makes sense to me. I know some of my best jokes most interesting material comes when my mind is tuned inward and just revving. It’s almost a zen-like state.
