I recommended Paul Silvia’s bookHow to write a lot, a succinct, witty guide to academic productivity in the Boicean mode.
What exactly are Robert Boice and Paul Silvia's methods? How do they differ from the conventional idea of "writing"?
-
. Remove Boice from the equation, and the existing literature on scholarly writing offerslittle or no conclusive evidence that academics who write every day are any more prolific,productive, or otherwise successful than those who do not.
There is little if any research that writing every day has any direct benefits.

Isak Dinesen said that she wrote a little every day, without hope and without despair.
source? date? (obviously on/before 2005-09-22)
Any relation to Robert Boice's work on writing every day?

Sword, Helen. “‘Write Every Day!’: A Mantra Dismantled.” International Journal for Academic Development 21, no. 4 (October 1, 2016): 312–22. https://doi.org/10.1080/1360144X.2016.1210153.
Preliminary thoughts prior to reading:<br /> What advice does Boice give? Is he following in the commonplace or zettelkasten traditions? Is the writing ever day he's talking about really progressive note taking? Is this being misunderstood?
Compare this to the incremental work suggested by Ahrens (2017).
Is there a particular delineation between writing for academic research and fiction writing which can be wholly different endeavors from a structural point of view? I see citations of many fiction names here.

A writer writes, always.
