This was an excellent little read about creativity, with a dedication to Georgia Blain and a chapter about her final and most wonderful book Between A Wolf & A Dog 🥰😭💔♥️.

CarolynM So I have to read it then. 3y
MrsMalaprop I think so @CarolynM . The first few essays didn‘t grab me, but the latter ones did. It‘s a quick read too. 3y
Jeg I‘ll have to give it a go soon. Been sitting on my TBR shelf looking at me. 😊 3y

#nextup I seem to be reading about writing ✍️ a lot lately, which is interesting given I am not a creative writer 🤔 (as a school psych I write plenty at work).

But anyway, how beautiful is this cover? 😍☁️

Wonderful essays on creativity. I love Wood‘s curiosity & quest to learn. She has done serious research & combines it with her own, & writer/artist friends‘, experience. Like her fiction it‘s clear & easy to read but also erudite & thought-provoking. New insights, both high level such as how work is made & the need for art to ‘disturb‘, & practical (tidiness, walking). Wood is generous with her knowledge and humble. Inspiring & a great read.

MrsMalaprop Another one on my list. I love her writing. 3y
Abailliekaras @MrsMalaprop it‘s superb. 3y
