Books that offer creative guidance:)
These two books helped me conquer the self-doubt and impostor syndrome that constantly pestered me while writing my first book. Hopefully they can do the same for other artists. Almost all of us are plagued by these pesky internal conflicts:)
1. The Creative Act, by Rick Rubin: First things first, Rick is a creative guru, essentially every artist he works with creates something outstanding. But this book really doesn't say much about his music career; instead he does an amazing job of explaining every aspect of the creative process in beautifully brilliant and concise language that anyone can learn from. Whether you're a painter or designing the next great video game, this book will give you some great insights. Rick is a truly unique individual with truly unique perspectives:)
2. The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield: Another extremely useful book for any artist, not just writers. The focus of this book is training yourself to show up and do the work. It also helped me realize I wasn't the only one battling those pesky voices of self-doubt. Steven does a great job of laying out the creative process as well but focuses on being a professional. No one else can offer what you have to offer, so get it done and put it out for others to enjoy.
In life we choose our regrets; I think most artists won't regret consuming this content:)
