Working: Writing 500 Words Per Day
b'On this week\\u2019s addition of Working Overtime, hosts June Thomas and Isaac Butler evaluate some writing advice that June received from Slate book critic Laura Miller, who got the idea from the writer Graham Greene. The advice is to write 500 words per day, and once you\\u2019re done with that quota, you can do whatever you want. But what happens when your schedule doesn\\u2019t allow such a rigid ritual?

June and Isaac weigh in on these and other questions, and then they discuss a concept called \\u201cmodular writing.\\u201d\\n\\nDo you have a question about creative work?
