Stephen Pressfield
/Stephen Pressfield is a long time writer with many books to his credit. His early struggles as a writer are life-learning. And not just for writers, but everyone trying to achieve in some domain. A few of his books cover this struggle and his approach for overcoming the challenges.
You can find him HERE. He publishes an essay every Wednesday. The essays are very readable, to the point, and very forthcoming.
Best of all he has recently he has a series of videos on The Warrior Archetype. These are 5-9 minute vignettes using his books and other sources as a basis. What I have found fascinating is his discovery of a character in his books, Telamon of Arcadia, as his secret mentor or guide. This little series is well worth the price of admission.
