Getting Creative: Developing Creative Habits that Work
Plan. Fail. Repeat
How does anyone have the time and energy to work on their creative projects after coming home from work, catching up on chores, and putting the kids to bed?
Do these people really have more self-discipline and motivation than the rest of us, or is this just a bunch of crap that we tell ourselves to make us feel better?
Are you one of us?
If you are already a wildly successful writer, photographer, or visual artist who has more time than you know what to do with—this book probably isn’t for you.
This book is for the rest of us who are frantically scurrying about our daily lives trying to juggle our kids, work schedule, and family responsibilities while still trying to find a few spare moments each day to do our creative thing.
Creativity isn’t as easy as it looks
Unfortunately, creativity isn’t some type of switch that you can simply turn on and off at random moments throughout the day. Sitting down to write isn’t like throwing in a load of laundry or checking your email, where if you have a few spare minutes, you can still get something accomplished.
In this book, you'll learn how to build real-world creative habits that work for you.
