Merlin Mann’s new deal: How to Blog

Pretty rough at this point.  Skip to the part towards the end when he talks about getting up at 3:30 every morning.  My best mornings I’m up at 4:40.  My worst, 5:10.  I get in an average of 1.5 hours uninterrupted work (except for that damn cat) every week day.  Two hours each on Saturday and Sunday.  That’s how I make good creative.

Here’s some totally choppy video of a dude named “Marilyn,” talking about How to Blog.

Hint: Van Hœt cameo at 32:07.

Look at me streaming!

I like this talk. It felt great to do. I think it might be my secret love letter to Gruber, David Simon, and my boys on YLNT; they each make me want to be better.
