Following up on her successful Life is a Verb, and in the tradition of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, Patti Digh here
presents a book that leads readers by both heart and head to acknowledge, reinforce, and use their own creative spirit. This is equally a book for people who say, I'm not creative or I'm just a dabbler or I'm an artist. Stories and exercises are enhanced by original artwork and an inviting design. Thirty-seven related essays are organized around six overarching themes that guide readers beyond the fear of creativity to embrace their inner artist. Among the themes: Put down your clever (no more trying to be smart), See the pencil (learning to really see again.), Throw more pots (focusing on the process, not the outcome), and Close the door (finding ten minutes a day for yourself).
