Resistance kept whispering in my ear, “Who are you, to write an email to the great author Steven Pressfield? The Pressfield who was made an honorary citizen by the city of Sparta, in Greece. You are a peon, don’t email him, go and do laundry. Clean the litter box, don’t click send.”

“There’s a secret that real writers know that wannabe writer’s don’t, and the secret is this: It’s not the writing part that’s hard. What is hard is sitting down to write. What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance.”

I battled Resistance and wrote Mr. Pressfield. He graciously gave me permission to quote from his book, the WAR of ART, and he agreed to be interviewed.
