Need to revisit this sometime when I can do the activities but the things it's been making me thinking about have already been very helpful.

"When I was a seed of grain I had many friends. But one day someone took me away."

"When we imagine things we don't want to imagine, why can't we stop outselves?"

“The time for it is always with us though we say I do not have that kind of time. The kind of time I have is not for this but for that. I wish I had that kind of time.”

"Did you ever have a toy that knew you?"

All hail the master graphic storyteller, Lynda Barry! I can't wait to complete the writing activity book section. As for the rest of this quasi-memoir/treatise on creativity Barry deftly synthesizes moving anecdotes and philosophical musings on the process of making art. Essential reading for anyone trying to get over their fear of making and jump start their creative process.
