The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin

Wow - I didn't realize I'd been reading this piecewise for the last year until I saw the start date for this review! It's been an incredibly insightful and useful companion on my creative journey. I highly recommend it to any wanting to find encouragement and tangible strategies for building your confidence and momentum creatively, particularly finishing your projects.
At times it idealized the creative journey to a point that felt on the fringes of disconnected (there are a couple of insights dedicated to choosing art above everything else as a practice, which is debatably unrealistic for the common person) - but in the same breath, holds inclusive space for art method no matter your lifestyle (i.e. you're a valid artist whether you choose to make income from your art or create as a hobby).
I bookmarked the heck out of this and will revisit it often. :)
