Back to the War of Art: Resistance and Procrastination

“Procrastination is the most common manifestation of Resistance because it’s the easiest to rationalize. We don’t tell ourselves, ‘I’m never going to write my symphony.’ Instead we say, ‘I am going to write my symphony; I’m just going to start tomorrow.'”~Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

Don’t you just love that thought? Sounds like the stories my brain tells my inner-child-artist. Yes I’m totally going to get my stuff together and paint, but maybe just not right now. Today I have this, and I have that, and those things. Tomorrow is going to be THE day.

Yeah, right.

As a fine artist, I paint, knit, and make jewelry, to figure it all out.
