“This is the other secret that real artists know and wannabe writers don’t. When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us. The Muse takes note of our dedication.

“We must do our work for its own sake, not for fortune or attention or applause.”
― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
