I'm not sure if you've read this on my site before (or if I even wrote it on my site) but I recommend using DarkRoom blocked off writing. I switched to WriteRoom since I've had my Mac, but they're the same thing.Anyway, it's a full screen program that allows you to write in a distraction free setting. Friday I wake up 4am, and by 6:30am I had finished 4 articles. That's because I wasn't going on TweetDeck, E-mail, or browsing on a tangent.I've read a couple of Gladwell's other books, I guess I've become somewhat of a fan, so I'll pick this one up as well. He's one of those writers that I pick up the book, and read it front to back in one sitting.P.S. Your interview will be up in several hours on my site (and on iTunes).

A month ago I started learning Kanji. I have skipped learning a few days to do review instead, but I have also done a lot more on some days so I'm ahead of where I should be by 250 kanji or so.1325 down, 675 left.Tynan Thanks guys.
