| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
The blank page, empty canvas, or uncarved stone will often fill artists with dread. But so may the thought of finishing, showing or even selling their work. Maisel guides the reader, whether an experienced artist or someone just starting out, past the pitfalls that appear in each stage of creation.
Amazon.com Review
Besides being a writer himself, Eric Maisel is a therapist with a practice centered around artists, writers and performers and has seen many of the demons that haunt the creative life firsthand. In this inventive workbook, he comes up with many exercises designed to help you blast through your own inertia and fear, to get you back to the typewriter, the easel, or on the stage where you belong.

• As A Professor Of Creativity This Has Been 1 Of 2 Texts I Have Used For Over 10 Years. 06 January, 2006
I teach Creativity at a University so I am constantly on the lookout for new and improved texts to use in my courses. For over ten years I have used this same book because I have not found a better one.
I give the students a choice between this and Julia Cameron The Artist's Way. The latter is more "spiritual" in tone ("inner" this and "within" that, and let your "higher self" speak, etc.) and Fearless Craeting is more "secular" ( the occasional PG swear word, painting naked, etc.) so they appeal to different types of students. They are still the 2 best books I know to actually enhance your creativity. (Nor have the authors in my opinions, surpassed them in their subsequent books.)
The only drawback is that the student only have to pay $15.00 for this text. They are used to paying $95.00 so this can be upsetting to them.

The author encourages us to recognize that making mistakes is part of creating. Experimenting, finding what works and what doesn't work, and going on is the process of creativity.
This book is useful for the beginning and the experienced artist.

• Something For When That Drreaded Block Strikes 24 August, 2008
This book is helpful on many levels. First as a philosophical treatise on creative acts, then a well indexed guide to specific processes. The side tabs are intriguing, but I did't try baking the potato, imagining it was enough.
