“I do this in my book. [The Page One Desire] is about wanting to write a book that moves people so much that they can’t wait to read it. The real desire was actually demonstrated in the story where I talk about a person who handed The War of Art to Steve Pressfield and it was just beat up. It was a mess and it was underlined and dog-eared and it was gorgeous. Like this art. That’s my reader’s page one desire.”

“My sense is that Page One Desire, you can paint the picture so well that what you actually experience tastes of that, you reflect back on that book.”
