The Question of Resistance

When the Muses are in a good mood, ideas come easily and the work just flows from the brain to the brush. The only thing in the way of that synchronicity is me. Getting in the studio to do that actual work, and have that wonderful flow, is the answer.

However, the question is Resistance.

There, I’ve said it once again, out loud so Mr. Resistance can hear it.

Inching my way in this 30 in 30 Challenge, as I said before, is a challenge. It’s tedious. It’s tiresome.

It’s even ridiculous that this is becoming a chore.

Enter Mr. Steven Pressfield once again to save my day! I am back to reading his book The War of Art. And somehow, with surprising timeliness, I received his newest book from his lovely publicist in the mail. It’s just what I need right at this moment.

I’ll tell you about it next post. I promise.
