Today is a big one! I'm joined by the legendary Steven Pressfield. If you haven't heard of him, you're probably living under a rock. He wrote one of the best books I've ever read on the creative process called "The War of Art".
On this interview, we talk about:
-What I learned from being a copywriter at an ad agency - and how it helped me write better books
-Should you write fiction or nonfiction first?
-What I learned from being a screenplay writer and how it made me a better fiction writer
-What is “resistance” and how you can fight through it to write your book
-The common resistance points of writing a book (and any project)
-Should you write a novel or a screenplay first (and how to get your book turned into a movie)
-How I stay motivated to keep going in my 70's
Steven is such a funny and engaging guy. You don't want to miss this interview! Check it out and let me know what you think.
