I try to follow Steven Pressfield's advice and just not succumb to the resistance. I think this is a similar theme to Anne Lamott's Bird By Bird, which is an excellent book for aspiring writers.

Amos Burton, the Unlikely Sage

On the occasion of family turmoil, I’ve done a lot of thinking about anger. There seems to be a lot of it around me, although none of it is actually mine. I recently read Tiamat’s Wrath, by James S.A. Corey, and the dead-inside sociopath Amos Burton makes an observation so keen it sticks in my side weeks later.


“There’s only a couple kinds of anger. You get angry because you’re afraid of something
