The inertia seems too great to overcome. I have experienced that, you have experienced that. It's a universal struggle which defeats you before you have even started. The enemy of action is the same enemy of creativity. The resistance. In his seminal work of creativity, The War of Art, Steven Pressfield identifies the resistance as the universal force to keep things as they are. It sabotages everything and tells you nothing needs to happen. Not only is the status quo good, it should never be questioned. This is the antitheses of action and creativity. Overcoming resistance seems daunting. It's like gravity pressing down and insisting you do absolutely nothing. It appeals to everything exhausted, tired, and lazy about us. Yet, fighting it only takes dogged steps. It doesn't require perfect execution, only the step forward. It isn't a war won in a single step, but a continually battle until the work is finished. No matter how difficult or dire the circumstances appear, resistance is ultimately only successful if you do nothing. The choice is yours. Suit Up!

Survival is not guaranteed. This should be the guiding principle of any action thriller. It should force the character to keep swinging from the moment they step into the arena. The value charge of action stories should be life or death. The harder you push your characters to the edge of death builds greater tension and drama. It forces them to innovate, surprise, and push back against the conflict in the story.

Trouble doesn't care how you're dressed, but it cares if you are prepared. James Bond is popularly seen as a martini drinking Brit in a tuxedo, charming women and evading danger. It's an oversimplification and easy to mistake the accessories for the meaning. James Bond isn't cool because of the tuxedo, watches, gadgets or girls. It's because he has a robust skill set to meet any challenge and face the obstacles which any mission throws at him. If you want to be like Bond, you don't need to start investing in designer apparel, you need to invest in skills. This is what it means to Suit Up!

The martini and the mission. They can be seen as two sides of Bond's world, or the intersection of them. From the outside, we see the division. James Bond socializing with his martini in hand, until he steps away to begin his mission. I would argue they are one and the same. The mission is the martini. The work of a spy is to gather information. Pay attention to the details and get into the rooms others cannot. What's your martini? What's your bridge between what people see and your mission?
