Thank you. It’s funny how reading the truth never gets boring.

Thanks Mr. Pressfield. Loved The War of Art. Growing up a Marine brat, I’m not quite sure how I missed applying the war mentality to my art. With resistance in proper perspective, I feel like 2010 will mark a significant change for me creatively. Thank you.

Steven,

I love the language you use to frame the argument.

Sticking points are a writer’s best friend. You’re absolutely correct. They throw down the gauntlet, forcing us to evolve our discipline and evolve our craft. Pushing past a sticking point puts steel in your spine. It makes your balls grow three sizes. I love Resistance. Resistance is my wife.

Thanks again for putting it into perspective. I have learnt so much from your book, especially how to identify, battle with and defeat that monster Resistance. Guess what, I’m getting better at it but still remain very much on guard. Thanks Steve, have a happy Christmas.

Unfortunately, everything you said about sticking points? WAS RIGHT ON.

Sigh.

I’m not necessarily keeping calm, but I am carrying on…
