Notes from the Inner War
My girlfriend Diana and I were shooting a video for the “Warrior Archetype” series when we came upon this charming country cottage.
It reminded me of a place I once lived in, at a critical juncture in my long struggle to learn how to write.
We decided on the spur of the moment to shoot a video for “Writing Wednesdays” using this cottage as a backdrop.
Here it is:
DO THE WORK
Steve shows you the predictable Resistance points that every writer hits in a work-in-progress and then shows you how to deal with each one of these sticking points. This book shows you how to keep going with your work.
THE AUTHENTIC SWING
A short book about the writing of a first novel: for Steve, The Legend of Bagger Vance. Having failed with three earlier attempts at novels, here's how Steve finally succeeded.
NOBODY WANTS TO READ YOUR SH*T
Steve shares his "lessons learned" from the trenches of the five different writing careers—advertising, screenwriting, fiction, nonfiction, and self-help. This is tradecraft. An MFA in Writing in 197 pages.
TURNING PRO
Amateurs have amateur habits. Pros have pro habits. When we turn pro, we give up the comfortable life but we find our power. Steve answers the question, "How do we overcome Resistance?"

As I listened to this for the second time, I thought about another Stephen I’ve enjoyed over the years. Stephen Covey writes somewhere in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People that, “Private Victories always precede public victories.”
When we talk about developing character, I think of it as 1000s upon 1000s of promises we kept to ourselves. The most important muscle to exercise is our promise-making muscle.

Brian, I think the most important muscle we can develop is our heart.
When the heart is in it we want to succeed, and Steven definitely puts his heart into his endeavors.
For that I am grateful 🙂
Sincerely,
Marie
Marie,
Well said. I amend my statement. 2nd most important muscle is the promise-making muscle.
