I was very resistant to reading TAW at fitst. It seemed too woo-woo for me. But it turns out, I loved it. This book has really changed my perspective on creativity. It has allowed me to better understand things I either love or struggle with (sometimes both) with more clarity. Things I wouldn't have been able to put into words. The journey has just begun, and I have a lot to reflect on still, but this has been a great springboard.

This was no where near what I had expected - This is actually quite full of meanderings and non-committal rantings.

To say that you get your writing from God, unless you don't believe in God, then you get it from spirit, unless you don't believe in spirit - wait - stop right there. Teach, don't worry about offending someone. Just explain and be done with it.

20-something pages of this type of yammering before getting to the week one lessons, which, while they may work for some people, is not something I will do.

Morning pages has an interesting concept of writing out your negative thoughts before you write, but this is not something that will work for everybody, and I am one of those that this will not work for. Thank you for your time, but this wasted mine completely.

Incredibly useful, sort of a CBT approach to creativity. The strategies and tips within worked for me, now to keep using them.
