Here’s this week’s 200 word idea thanks to 99u.com, James Clear on Entrepreneur.com.
Steven Pressfield’s most famous work, The Legend of Bagger Vance, was a best-selling novel that became a motion picture starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. But, if you ask Pressfield, he will say that his most important book was one that you never heard of: the first book he finished.
“I never did find a buyer for the book. Or the next one, either. It was ten years before I got the first check for something I had written and ten more before The Legend of Bagger Vance was actually published. But that moment when I first hit the keys to spell out THE END was so epochal. I remember rolling the last page out and adding it to the stack that was the finished manuscript. Nobody knew I was done. Nobody cared. But I knew. I felt like a dragon I’d been fighting all my life had just dropped dead at my feet and gasped out its last sulfuric breath.”
Here’s to finishing what we start..
