bailedI didn‘t bail willingly, I lost the actual book somewhere in my room!
pickI really enjoyed this book despite it being nonfiction. I found that many of the things Rubin said were things I agreed with. Creativity is inside of everyone and if you think differently I recommend this book! 😄
so-soI did The Artist's Way 30 years ago (!) & have revisited a couple of times since. This book is a coda to that, not an alternative. Unlike TAW, I didn't follow the chapters as a weekly course: I don't think there was sufficient material to merit doing so.
Her dismissive attitude towards mental illness rubbed me up the wrong way. Creativity helps but is NOT a standalone cure! (Let's not get into how creative pursuits can lead to deep dark places.)
pickThis is the picture book selection for my library‘s Community Read. It is adorable and I want a physical copy for my own shelves. I love the watercolor artwork and how the illustrations are all done inside watercolor dots. It‘s a great story about harnessing creativity. The whole thing just makes me happy.
