The (important) part about art is the work.
I love this idea.
It is what you do when resistance is overcome.
This passage reminded me of a tweet I saw by Writing Routines.
"Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers." —Ray Bradbury

You show up and work, and well – who knows.
“Why have I stressed professionalism so heavily in the preceding chapters? Because the most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters except sitting down every day and trying. Why is this so important? Because when we sit down day after day and keep grinding, something mysterious starts to happen. A process is set into motion by which, inevitably and infallibly, heaven comes to our aid. Unseen forces enlist in our cause; serendipity reinforces our purpose.”
–Steven Pressfield, The War Of Art
