If you want to write a novel, most of the advice I've seen is essentially "do it". Almost any project will benefit a great deal from dedication. Procrastination is the real cause of most things that don't happen. Saying that, I take real offense at the equation given in the article. "Focused energy + xx minutes + once per day = idea manifestation"? Should it not be (focused energy + xx minutes) * once per day... Or perhaps even focused energy * xx minutes * once per day. If you set any of those variables to 0, the outcome is 0. It's clearly a multiplication problem.
