This book is a swift kick in the keister for anyone involved in creative endeavors. Or those that want to be. Or those that should be and have filled their days with excuses instead of following their muse. Steven Pressman has given a gift to those people of a strategy for identifying and overcoming what he calls Resistance (and what is usually labeled Procrastination). Read this book. Then go and do what you were created to do.

I feel awful saying this, but I hated this. The author encourages the reader to write, and write often. Unfortunately, his book is total rubbish. It would have made much more sense for him to make stickers that said: "Bum Glue: Just Write!" Instead he goes on and on about "Resistence" which makes you not want to write, the "Professional" who writes, and something weird about how "Angels" give us the power to write. At least it was short.
