I started this blog a few years ago when I turned twenty-five, and it began as a place for me to post about cheese, pottery and other things I thought were interesting over the course of that year. Now, even though my "Year Twenty-Five" is behind me, I keep this site as a way of collecting things I feel inspired by and/or would like to eat.

The War of Art, Steven Pressfield

July 22, 2014/ Alison McMurtrie

On my "to read" list. Check out an excerpt here.

A tidbit:

"Resistance cannot be seen, touched, heard or smelled. But it can be felt. It is experienced as a force field emanating from a work-in-potential. It's a repelling force. It's negative. Its intention is to shove the creator away, distract him, sap his energy, incapacitate him.

If Resistance wins, the work doesn't get written."
