"Simple, powerful, and works like pure magic. I haven't read a book that shook me up this much since The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. The Creative Wound: Heal Your Broken Art is a must-read--and an essential tool--for creative people across the globe."- Lauren Sapala, author of Firefly Magic and The INFJ Writer As an artist, you put your heart into what you do. It's the seat of all your work. But if your creative heart breaks, you lose all expressive power. Deep down, you know if this damage would only heal then freedom of movement would return and you'd discover all that you are truly capable of. But how? This book explains: * Why your gift is desperately needed, especially as technology advances.* What understanding your story will reveal to your future creative self. * How to find inspiration when you're just not feeling it.* When daydreaming is your best productivity option.* How to own your own creativity and stop waiting for a big break.* The power of curiosity in living a truly creative life.* Effective ways to change course and find your true creative path.
