[Bonus] - Steven Pressfield [Part 2]: The Meaning of Practice
Manage episode 168073387 series 42508
Steven Pressfield wrote all of the greatest books for writers. He's a pro. And in part 1 he talks about turning pro. Now he talks about HOW to develop your skills.
“I have a writing practice," he says. “And what that sort of means is you detach yourself from the outcome and you’re looking at the long picture. If somebody says to me, ’Steve you’re gonna live to be 97.8 years old. Are you going to be writing the last day of your life?’ I'll say, ‘Yes.’ And I don’t give a shit if it sells or not. I’m in it."
Be in it.
Because it's not just a habit... it's your life.
