Title: Resistance Meets its Match in The Muse
Review: I read this book all the way through in one sitting. Now I look forward to starting all over again--immediately.Mr. Pressfield delivers good and bad news for writers. The bad news: Our creative impulses will always meet palpable Resistance. We must learn to identify and do battle daily with Resistance in all its forms.The good news: Our Muse stands close by to aid. But Mr. Pressfield makes it clear she prefers to help those who help themselves. More drill sergeant than neurasthenic nymph, the Muse holds artists to a hard-line work ethic and doesn't suffer whiners.A former Marine, the author also believes in healthy discipline. "The Marine Corps teaches you how to be miserable," he writes. "This is invaluable for an artist."
