> The author doesn't seem to understand the difference between motivation and discipline. He has been successful into tricking himself into a frequent state of writing motivation. He's very lucky to have done so.

In strong agreement with this comment. The idea of writing every day is to create a habit of writing. It is not about motivation. Imagine taking a walk after dinner everyday for many years. It becomes a necessity. Similarly with writing, you want to convert a conscious decision to work, into a visceral feeling that you just have to do it. Consequently, you don't have to dip into your limited willpower supplies.
