By Rick Rubin has lots of great advice and metaphors about how the act of creating relates to nature and what to do when these kinds of issues arise. I highly recommend—I am almost done and am definitely going to read it again and again til it is ingrained in my brain
I have no idea if this is similar. I have The Creative Act but haven't read it yet.
But this book, and all the others in the series, like Turning Pro, are fantastic for any writer, artist, creator, forward-living human.
The creative process can be extreme humbling. I’ve started reading the artists way because I’m hoping to find something. This is not exactly an ask but if you know any other books or have any recommendations along the same lines of anything that helped you along the way, feel free to share.
Thank you, bye x
The ultimate get-off-your-ass creative manual. It's SO GOOD and SO INSPIRING and I have demanded people's address at bars many times and ordered a copy for them on the spot. Plus reading about doing the work is a lot easier than doing the work (and still counts as work).
