I saw this comic and was reminded of something Steven Pressfield wrote in The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles --
"Writing is not hard. Sitting down to write is hard."
It's not that pursuing our creative outlets is difficult. In fact, once we get going, the creativity just sort of "takes over" and momentum can build very quickly (e.g., last week I filled up the back of a church bulletin with notes for an upcoming blog).
No, once the snowball starts rolling, it's pretty hard to stop it.
What's difficult is unplugging from out busyness and setting the snowball in motion.
