In yesterday’s post, Jemima Kirke talks about ego and resistance stopping her from creating the art she knows she needs to create. As she said the words, my immediate thoughts were simultaneously “SAME” and “Steven Pressfield.” Which if you’ve spent any time at all poking around in the world of the creative you’ve surely heard his book The War of Art recommended at least a million times. If you haven’t read it yet, go ahead and grab a copy. It’s a quick read that will give you the wake up call (and by wake up call I mean kick in the ass) you need. For extra credit, you can also read ahead to Do The Work and Turning Pro. While there’s a little overlap among the books, the content is the kind of thing most of us probably need to have reinforced on a daily basis, so a little repetition won’t hurt. Honestly, the format of the books would make them perfect to add to a daily devotional style line up. Each chapter is only a paragraph to a page or two long, which makes them just the right length to read one a day as a part of your morning routine.
