I've published a few books, but I've also abandoned a few book projects along the way. Anytime I finish a book remain present during the creation process, and when I abandon a project it was because I was more concerned with finishing than creating. The key to creating great art is presence, and in this episode I discuss my new book project, and how I committed to remaining present during the creation process.

The primary elements of this episode are:

  1. When I create my best art, including podcasts, blogs, books, etc. I am fully present with the content and the process instead of starting the project just to finish it. 
  2. When I begin to plan for the completion of the project while still in the creation phase, I need to gather myself, become present, and refocus on the task at hand - creating the best art possible, not finishing the project.
  3. By writing the best sentence, paragraph, and page possible and repeating this until a natural conclusion, the work of art is at it's most powerful and will create the desired and intended impact.
