Is he right, /lit/? Have you tried it? What are your techniques for making writing easier?

Also, have a Joyce pic.

Yes. It helps clear the mind and after doing it for a while and getting comfortable with the routine and route, you're mind has no where else to wonder but to tackle with what's on it. Exercise should also be done too routinely to help you mentally, but I believe everyone should take an hour out of their day to walk a route.

Like using the boredom of the well-known route to make your mind make something of its own?

That's an interesting take on it.

>But an examination of his life reveals a yearning for marriage frustrated by a train of rejections. In the year 1831, Schopenhauer fell in love with a girl named Flora Weiss. At a boat party in Germany he made his advance by offering her a bunch of grapes. Flora’s diary records this event as follows: "I didn’t want the grapes because old Schopenhauer had touched them, so I let them slide, quite gently into the water." Apparently, she was underwhelmed.

He was already old then. Apparently when he was young he was in a contest with a friend for who could fuck the most women and earned a solid reputation as a womanizer
