Product Description

Product Description
From the author of the hugely successful THE ARTISTS WAY. This book goes back and starts from scatch. It is intended as a creative companion. Its essays are small and gentle and each is accompanied by a matching task. It aims, one essay and one task at a time, to stimulate creativity so that the reader becomes more and more familiar with their own creative strengths. It is made up of both the author's inspirational personal journey about how she overcame her writer's block, as well as practical exercises to get the creative juices flowing.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly excellent., 30 Jul 2007
By C. L. Askew (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I am a writer by trade, I am not a fan of 'how to write' guides, and so when I was given Cameron's book I had small hopes. However, after the first few chapters, the book quickly warms up and becomes a real eye-opener and an invaluable tool, for artists of every kind.

Firstly, it helps that this book is not a 'how to' at all, though it may appear like one. In fact, it is a practical study of the artistic psyche -- Cameron explores issues such as what causes writer's block, how to cure it, and how to keep it at bay. The exercises at the end of each chapter are more confidence-builders than writing exercises -- and though some (such as one which recommends that you do some mending!) are a little offbeat, others can be real eye-openers and helpful starting points for creating new work.

Furthermore, Cameron writes from an "I've been there" perspective, and starts every chapter with a little glimpse of her own life, which draws the reader in. She also quotes other artists of her acquaintance and is able to give good examples and make practical suggestions for a more productive and creative life.

This book really has changed the way I approach my writing work. A fantastic read -- inspiring and enormously helpful.
