This episode is presented by Wispr Flow, a tool that turns voice notes into clear writing.

I use it every day and recommend it to every writer I know.

Try it for free at ref.wisprflow.ai/howiwrite David Sedaris has long been one of the funniest writers in the game, and he’s got a method for how he does it.

It starts with observation, always looking for what’s surprising, ridiculous, or a little bit strange about the world.

Then, every single day, he writes the best ideas down in a journal.

But there’s also a willingness to put himself in absurd situations, like working as a Christmas elf at Macy’s or cleaning up litter off English country roads for eight hours a day.

He’s sold more than 16 million books, and he’s been writing for The New Yorker for more than 30 years.

Today, he’s here to teach us how he does it.

I’m David Perell and I’m a writer, teacher, and podcaster.

I believe writing online is one of the biggest opportunities in the world today.

For the first time in human history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global audience.

I seek to help as many people publish their writing online as possible.
