The War of Art:
Break Through the Blocks
and Win Your Inner Creative Battles
Steven Pressfield
I don't actually suffer, thankfully, from artist block. I have WAY too many ideas and weird concepts floating around my brain. My problem is sifting through it all and settling on ONE idea at a time to develop.
And then there is is STUPID amount of 'research' in the form of photography, sketches and web surfing I end up doing before settling into the real work. Funnily enough all of my research ends up having zero to do with my outcome! I have an incredibly small output of work compared to the amount of time I spend 'doing' art. I am aghast at the never ending stream of some of my peers.
Though I never want to become a production line, I do need to FOCUS!
This book is JUST the kick in the pants I needed. It covers it all though from what is stopping you from realizing your full potential to how to get over that blank page fear. LOVE IT!
For me? How to GET TO WORK! So enough of me telling you... I'm off to the studio :)
Great for artists, writers, business people in fact actually anyone who needs to get ANYTHING done creative or otherwise.
I am reading mine on Kindle :)
