Wow, T., thank you for this treasure trove of writing wonders. I printed out Henry Miller's work schedule, which seems right up my ally. "Discard the Program when you feel like it--but go back to it next day." Yes. "Write first and always." Check. And thank you again!

That line gets me too—permission to stray, but also the discipline to return. Hope it serves you well, and thank you for reading. I wrote a post previously about other writers' routines and rituals - https://tdelosreyes.substack.com/p/again-and-again-and-again - you might find it interesting!
