Creative Process

Reflections on Pressfield

A few of the key things from the Steven Pressfield interview that stand out in my mind:

I love his "blue collar" attitude toward art. Great art is work and great work is art.

The "an artist can recognize another artist" statement was fabulous. There are a lot of people making money making art who are still amateurs in their mindset.

Steven created for 27 years before he made a living doing what he loves to do.  That pretty much renders anyone’s argument about the difficulty of finding time to write/make/create useless. He MADE time.

His wisdom is hard earned. This man is not sharing theory - he’s recounting his wounds and victories.

Thanks, Steven, for giving us a lot to think about and apply.
