Every so often, I’ll re-publish one of my favorite How I Write episodes. This classic episode is with Steven Pressfield, the author of more than 25 books who speaks as beautifully about the creative process as he writes. He waded through 27 years of Resistance so you don’t have to. Come learn his best practices for doing your best work.TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Intro00:00:40 Your career in writing00:07:00 Writing rough drafts00:11:10 Copywriting00:13:20 Hemingway00:14:20 The Legend of Bagger Vance00:18:40 Fiction vs Non-fiction00:19:15 Storytelling advice00:29:20 Editing your work00:40:55 Discipline in writing00:43:45 Villains in writing01:02:45 How Steven started writing01:05:15 Robert Greene01:08:50 Tim Ferriss01:12:00 60 scenes method01:13:20 Writing styles01:20:20 Make your heroes suffer01:23:55 Steven Pressfield's new book "The Daily Pressfield"Hey!
