I have everyone repeat after me in my workshops, "Keep going and don't stop!" when it comes to creating your art empire. We can come up with all sorts of excuses to not do the work. Steven Pressfield in his book, The War of Artcalls this apathy, laziness, lack of confidence, resistance. You can call our avoidance to doing the work by many names but the solution is always the same; "Keep going and don't stop!"The Writer's Den is a Blog for writers, however visual artists will relate to spirit of its posts. The flow chart above is from the site. Replace the words with your artful purpose and you will understand the message completely. Amazing how all the arts are connected.
