One of my fav books on the creative process is The War of Art by Stephen Pressfield. He tackles this topic unapologetically, and it's one of my go-to books that I revisit every year or two.

Because unfortunately, the creative resistance beast is something that I'm struggling to slay right now. I know it well.
