For My Writer Pals - Part I
For my writer pals ↠ the books I read immediately before finishing my first novel:
Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon
↠ Removed all the pressure I had put on myself about what art is and what I needed to do to create it
The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
↠ Every page is like a portal into the flow state
(And I didn’t even finish The Artist’s Way, I was too inspired to do anything but write.)
I wrote my first novel, a 100,000-word fantasy in 10 days between catering shifts. It wasn’t anywhere near perfect, but 5 years later, I’ve got a bestselling indie-published novel released and my next release is on deck.
