Craig Mod is a writer and photographer from Japan. He blogs at craigmod.com. He’s like a modern-day Thoreau who walks and writes, except he’s not too particular with philosophy and is more interested in culture, literature, and story-telling. That is why he talked to other people, unlike Thoreau or Annie Dillard who engaged more with nature and, thus, talked more to themselves.
What I think I can steal from his process is how he organizes long-walks and create publishable artifacts from those walks.

How CM creates a book
Cm
Not only before lunch
Internet goes off automatically by 10 pm
Why? When u are writing a book, your mind works outside of clear book writing sessions. When u do internet stuff outside of book writing sessions u deprive urself of that.
Cm has a 10,000 people email list before launching sp
Connecting the books with the membership was the advertising
