This book is the third in a three-part series about the Power of Creativity for new writers, musicians, filmmakers, artists. It’s for anyone who has a great idea (or even just a little one) but they’re finding it difficult to act on their idea, do deep work and finish their most important creative projects.

It’s not enough to just practice writing, drawing or painting every day. You must be smart about the techniques you use for learning, practicing and problem solving. ˃˃˃ 6. Cut the Cord For every creative person, there comes a time when you must focus on what’s important, commit to doing the work” and cut the rope. In this personal story, I explain what this looks like ˃˃˃ 7. Fall Forwards Making messy mistakes is part of the creative process.
