When I first saw Caleb Jennings Breakey at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference, I was struck by his enthusiasm and his joy. God's love shone like a beacon through his huge smile and I really wanted to attend his workshop. But, there were so many choices, I went to a genre-specific class (also very good) instead. Last week, I was delighted to find a video of one of his talks and asked him to post for us. I know you'll enjoy this encouraging call to write. ~ Angie
You've waited all day for this. You can't believe it's finally here. You sit down, fire up Word or Scrivener, and . . .
Blink, blink, blink.
Nothing comes. So you check your email. Facebook. The weather.
This is our nemesis. Its name is Resistance. And if you're going to succeed as a writer, you need to learn how to beat it.
First, consider reading the man who first identified Resistance: Stephen Pressfield, author ofThe War of Art, Do the Work, and Turning Pro. Pressfield doesn’t always sound good to Christian ears, but his writing wisdom is spot-on.
If you'd rather just get a quick glimpse of Resistance and how to beat it, check out the video below and be encouraged. We're all in this together.
What do you do to beat resistance?
