Warming up

The English comedian Richard Herring has a blog entitled 'Warming Up' which I occasionally dip into. The idea that you should keep writing at all times if you want to keep the creative juices flowing I think is a fair one but I also tend to feel that very prosaic daily routines should be kept for private consumption only. I'm not saying Herring always falls into this trap but he's an interesting example of someone who has had to (re)invent his audience (after a visible TV career in the 90s) to be able to make a living as a comedian.
A growing number of writers work in a similar way. Build or find an audience of around 10,000 people and produce enough original material every year that each of these individuals is prepared to pay $10 for and then everyone's happy.
Now all I have to do is find 10,000 gulible, I mean intelligent, people.
