Chuck D. Tells It Like It Is
Here is Charles Dickens, rejecting an invitation from a friend.
“‘It is only half an hour’–’It is only an afternoon’–’It is only an evening,’ people say to me over and over again; but they don’t know that it is impossible to command one’s self sometimes to any stipulated and set disposal of five minutes–or that the mere consciousness of an engagement will sometime worry a whole day…
Who ever is devoted to an art must be content to deliver himself wholly up to it, and to find his recompense in it. I am grieved if you suspect me of not wanting to see you, but I can’t help it; I must go in my way whether or no.”
Amen, brother.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
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.
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.
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?"

I’m happy you’re both safe and sound! I’m sorry about your house!

“Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many — not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”
Charles Dickens
Saying prayers for you
Oh Steven! I am so, so sorry for your devastating losses! Dare I remind you of your days in the rented motorhome and suggest one of those for a while? I hope that’s funny to a person who just lost their home. Your motorhome adventures were some of my favorite posts. May you and Diana and your friends and neighbors also experiencing great loss find hope, courage and strength to start over.
I love it, many thanks, Steven.
Very sorry about the loss, what a horrid time we are going through.
Much love and gratitude to you and your lady.
Steven- sorry about the house, but you’re a tough guy. Rebuild and stay focused on your project.
I take from the comments that you suffered losses from the fires. My hear felt sorrow for you and all who suffer. From one who is directly affected, the best suggestion on where the rest of us can offer our help? Any one organization that stands out?
Jackie, one organization (of many) that is doing great work on the ground here is the World Central Kitchen.

Dear Steven & Diana,
Please know complete strangers are lifting you and your community up in prayer during this very moment and the future. Community will mean more than anything these days. May you all lean on one another. Rebuilding will inspire those watching that have experienced tragedy or will experience a tragedy.
Spread hope & light.
Thank you, Steve. It’s a relief to know you and Diana are safe and I’m sorry for the loss of your house. Here’s to your new home and the courage it took to keep posting your Writing Wednesday. A shining example.
So very sorry for your losses and for the many who are suffering from these fires. Blessings to ALL of you!
My heart breaks for you and your loss. My heart soars… because you are safe… and in time … will soar on wings like eagles! Prayers sending your way…!
We’re so grateful that you both survived! Your High School Class was on high alert until Joe got through to you. Although your home was spectacular, and we enjoyed our time there, we know you were very organized and had your “go bag” packed. I’m confident that ,at this moment, you are writing a montage of stories of others’ experiences. Remember to stop at 2:00! All the best, Ginger, Roger & “the boys”
Love your positive attitude! I grew up in SoCal and my heart is with all of you!
Steven,
I’m just hearing now about the loss of your home.. lifting you and your family in my prayers….
I came here to comment on the Writing Wednesday message of the week and saw the news
of your own heartbreak… I’m so very sorry…
prayers from a New Hampshire friend.
Diane
Very sorry. I truly am.

Hi Steven,
So sorry for the loss and devastation you and Diana are dealing with along with so many others.
It’s an incredible inspiration that despite the setbacks you are out there posting about lessons from ‘Chuck D.’
Thinking of you from NYC!
2 Sundays ago we got the alert in L.A. there would be “life threatening winds.” The next Wednesday we woke up to a pitch black sky filled with smoke and the rising sun a red, angry ball.
Then the terrible news trickled in. Friends, co-workers and acquaintances lost everything.
Then I see Steve’s instagram post and before I hit “play” I’m already wincing to hear the inevitable.
People who live in Los Angeles are, to quote Steve’s book title, “putting their ass where their heart wants to be.” We stick here because we can’t imagine being anywhere else.
I’m sorry as hell you lost your “room of one’s own,” Coach. We are with you, we are rooting for you, and we’re relieved you live to fight Resistance another day.
