Orwell and Writing

“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”

― George Orwell

I don't pretend to be Orwell, but working on this poster presentation for the ISAMS, I must say, it does NOT feel good.  This quote gives me perspective as does the "War of Art."  It is a struggle against the sniper voices that come from inside telling you that you're full of it for even trying.
