On The Artist's Journey We Are Redefining And Reconfiguring Ourselves And Our Lives.

Resistance In My Experience Always Kicks In When You're Trying To Move From A Lower Level To A Higher Level Or To Identify With A Braver Part Of Yourself Or Your Higher Nature. So It's That Negative Repelling Force. It's Kind Of The Dragon That We Have To Slay Every Day If We're Artists Or Entrepreneurs.

The Professional Dedicates Himself To Mastering Technique Not Because He Believes Technique Is A Substitute For Inspiration But Because He Wants To Be In Possession Of The Full Arsenal Of Skills When Inspiration Does Come.

Are You Paralyzed With Fear? That’s A Good Sign. Fear Is Good. Like Self-doubt, Fear Is An Indicator. Fear Tells Us What We Have To Do. Remember One Rule Of Thumb: The More Scared We Are Of A Work Or Calling, The More Sure We Can Be That We Have To Do It.

When A Novelist Or Screenwriter Is Looking For A Subject, The Element He's Seeking Is Conflict. Conflict Makes Drama. Conflict Produces Great Characters And Memorable Scenes. So War Is A Natural Topic.
