My MIL gave this book to me when I had thought I was finished with my book; when in actuality it was another month or so of adding/deleting/editing.

The War of Art is a wake-up call for those of us with a calling to an artistic pursuit or other life-altering change, who are having a hard time doing what we love and not getting distracted and discouraged on our way to completion.

I have recently started to carry this book around with me like it's my Bible and I'm a good little Christian girl, pat on the head. (Not true!  In case someone actually thought I was or am.)

I wait A LOT.  I wait for my kids' school to open in the morning.  I wait in the parking lot for them to get out of school.  I wait in waiting rooms. (NO WAY!) So, I bring my notebook, pen, and my artistic Bible.

And I write. If I am drawing a book blank, I read some of my book and every time I feel better about my brain turning off and inspired to write ... something, anything as long as I'm doing my work.

This book is exactly the inspiration and know-how I needed to go pro and kick Resistance's ass.  If you read the book, you know exactly what I mean.

I am anti-spoiler, so I won't go into detail about the book, but ... it's amazing and every time I reread a passage or two I realize that I can apply a tidbit of advice from it in a way I didn't see before.

I'm going to end on a quote from the book.

"If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends) "Am I really a writer?  Am I really an artist?" chances are you are.  The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident.  The real one is scared to death."

Now, go buy it.

Peace out!
