ByPublisher Description
How to Conquer Creative Block and Ignite the Creative Process
Stoking the Creative Fires is a burn-out antidote for any creative process. Follow award-winning author and filmmaker, Phil Cousineau, as he overcomes creative block with tools that alleviate burnout and rekindle passion.
Practice makes progress. Contrary to popular belief, creativity isn’t just mentors and muses. Igniting the creative process requires focus and practice—determined practice that eventually sparks habits. In this warm and conversational exploration of creative inspiration, Cousineau crafts the ultimate self-discipline model for today’s creatives. In Stoking the Creative Fires, explore the different ways to ignite your inner fire, and the creative techniques that keep it lit.
Why is discipline important to the artist? With a multitude of stories, ideas, and exercises Stoking the Creative Fires inspires readers to live passionately and creatively, whether building a business, an art project, or a life. Drawn from historical and contemporary figures, artists, and from his own experience, find creative techniques, quotes, and handpicked images, to help explore questions like:
- Why is discipline important?
- Where do you want to be?
- How’s your fire?
If you enjoyed books like The Artist's Way, The War of Art, or Do the Work, then you’ll love Stoking the Creative Fires.
