kind of corny but still good wisdom. it's about battling the internal resistance to doing your work. i used to re-read it as a form of resistance, actually

I have a grand disdain for ”self-help” but I really value the tools in this one

Reminded of this book today. It was instumental in helping me take writing seriously. The concept of personifying all our little self-sabotaging acts as an antagonistic entity called Resistance was so useful. Ironically, I don't remember finishing the book. But I did finish my first screenplay.
Worth revisiting.

The ultimate get-off-your-ass creative manual. It's SO GOOD and SO INSPIRING and I have demanded people's address at bars many times and ordered a copy for them on the spot. Plus reading about doing the work is a lot easier than doing the work (and still counts as work).

I don't read nonfiction but I had to read this for a class. I'm glad I did. Gave me the tools to get into the "doing" mindset for creative work. Ironically, I never finished the book. I was too busy writing my first screen play.
