Product Description

Synopsis

Offers writers, artists, and performers advice on overcoming the fear of the blank page and empty canvas, and tells how to use this emotion to artistic advantage.

From the Author

From the Intuition Magazine review of Fearless Creating:
"In Fearless Creating, Maisel offers a clear, systematic approach to creativity that fully acknowledges the role of anxiety in the pursuit of artistic excellence. The author doesn't just name and solve some creative problems, he calls on us to create, and to create deeply. Fearless Creating mobilizes you to think, feel, and act completely; it engages and changes you, like the act of creation itself."

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the creative process!, 1 May 1999

By A Customer

I've read many books on creativity and Eric Maisel describes it as no one else has. FEARLESS CREATING takes you through the steps of the creative process, predicts the typical anxieties and pitfalls, and offers specific suggestions to get past them. I especially liked his explanation for attending to your rhythms as your work and distinguishing between needed quiet time and using quiet to avoid the inevitable anxiety of creating.

As an author, I found Maisel's principles and advice to resonate with my experience. Working on an outline for my next book as I read, I found the book inspirational and fun as well as reassuring. If you liked Julia Cameron's THE ARTIST'S WAY, you'll love this book as much as I did.

I am recommending it to all my creative friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the creative workbooks, 19 Jan 1999

By A Customer

Maisel has done something unique: written a creativity workbook that is actually creative. Avoiding some of the clich�'s which make some of the more popular "artist's" books a bore, he zeros in on the central issues which prevent artists from being productive. If I were to recommend one creativity workbook, this would be it.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're afraid of your own voice, this book will help., 12 Oct 1998

By A Customer

This book, used in conjunction with Natalie Goldberg's "Writing Down the Bones," helped me to develop the discipline to write every day. I ordered it twice - once for myself and once for a friend.
