I’m actually not a writer. I’m an aspiring filmmaker. I sort of just stumbled upon your post, and I’m glad I did. Great stuff! Thanks Steve!

[...] At that moment I remembered The Ten Thousand Hour Rule. This concept was popularized by writer Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success. The idea is that ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery that is associated with being a world class expert – in anything. (Here’s a succinct overview of the concept.) [...]

I play soccer as my passion. Im 15, and in my room instead of hot girls or posters of my favorite bands, i have pictures and vision boards of everything soccer, mostly Manchester United, related. I plan out my schedule each week to determine which days are my lifting days, outside soccer skills days, and rest day. I watch soccer all the time in my downtime, but I also read a lot, not just soccer but mostly history and philosphical books. i heard about this 10000 hour rule and it amazes me. why? to comprehend exactly what 10000 hours is, is amazing in itself, to understand the 10000 hour rule you must understand time, which is like trying to pour the entire ocean into the palm of your hands. its something you PHYISCALLY can not complete, but mentally of course you can. what im trying to say is if you are my age and your goal or dream is to do anything but you are working with a time period you may be discouraged by 10000 hours of doing anything but i am here to reassure you. 10000 hours is in your head. if you mentally wrote that book for 9940 hours then all you have to do is put it on paper for another 60 hours in order for it to be a big hit around the world. in my case if you played in a finale for the world cup dozens of times and thousands of hours but never been to the world cup then tell me what’s the difference for the guys who have actually been there and myself. its the mind that tells the body what it does or sees not the other way around. you do so much stuff to accomplish your goals conciously or not, 10000 hours or not you live life the way you feel. so if you feel rich, then you are living rich, if you feel beautiful, then you are truly beautiful, if you feel like you are a proffessional soccer player, then you are one. 10000 hours or not your mind can’t comprehend time so tell yourself you have 20000 hours every day and truly feel it, 20000 is my number what is yours?

Focused, reflective practice. Hey, if you can write one hour a day, I bet you could write two. What are you spending time on in your life that’s not paying off? Try dropping it, and use the time for writing.

When I first starting reading this post, I was NOT encouraged. I did the math before I got to the math portion — pulled up my Windows calculator, even — and I was CRUSHED that my 1-hour-a-day writing routine that I can’t even stick to would mean 27 YEARS before I’m fully baked.

But then I realized that my blog writing, my writing for work, it all “counts” because it’s all helping me improve my craft. So maybe I’m close to that 10,000 after all…

I do not know how long Stephanie Meyer has been writing but I know that she is LDS, and many, many of them are good writers. Their religion requires them to keep diaries, so they have essentially written daily their entire lives. Even “former” and nonpracticing LDS are often good writers.

There are a lot of books besides Outliers that can be handy for writers.
