Helpful Score: 2
Even if you a producing professional artist, every one goes thru little dry spells of creativity,this is a good book to help jump start your mind. Chapters include 'Toward a more Creative life', my favorite. Plenty of good material for budding artists for instance when you have that nagging thought in your head...
"Am I Good Enough?".
I really wish I had had a copy of this book 24 + yrs. ago when my creative life happened between 9:30PM and 1:30AM.3 to 4 nights a week and 4-6 hrs. on the weekend whenever I could squeeze it in.This is after 8-9 hrs. of my day job and giving my 4 kids the time they needed after school till they were in bed at 9:30 or 10PM. You know this is the way it really is for alot of artists.
So if you are in the beginning of your career The chapters you might find helpful are 'Making Room in Your World for Art','Some Creative requirements', and 'Strengthening Your Creative resolve'. This
is a wonderful peerceptive book. I recommend it with 5 stars.
