I bought The War on Art and was a bit disappointed after listening to Pressfield on a podcast. I thought it would be advice for breaking through writer's block but it it's more like meditations for an artist. It sounds great in theory because they cherry pick the best quotes (like the one above) but I was a tad disappointed.
I think I might be in the minority on this though.
dear caroline,
great piece as always!
love the Robert McKee stuff!
and also love this Caroline Clifford stuff: "the real joke almost always is you"
love it, thank you!

The War of Art is a super book! His notion of resistance is super powerful. (And I typically hate cheesy self-help stuff.)
