I don’t remember who tweeted about this book, but I’m very glad to have found Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art. The segmented format makes it a quick read, while the insights to the creative process let you know you are not alone in struggling to face down Resistance.
As an author, I’m interested in people. After all, what better source for characteristics and behaviors for my fictional characters than the real life characters I’m surrounded by every day? Whether I’m picking and choosing or elaborating and embellishing, having fictional people do real people things makes those two-dimensional beings resonate with three-dimensional feelings.
