If you're an artist of any kind, this is a great book to pick up when you're in a creative slump. The tips and advice given may seem simple, but it all makes sense. I liked the interview portions with other artists and i liked how diverse their voices were. Also, the book is short! Congdon gets straight to the point, which i really appreciated.

"One of the things I learned when I began making art was that there was so much more to my story than I ever realized....The boring interior life I previously related to was transformed into an inner world so intriguing to me that I couldn't contain it." p36

Half of Lisa Congdon's FIND YOUR ARTISTIC VOICE is a collection of mundane advice you can find in any creative craft manual. You know the stuff, you've seen it all before: write/practice/do art every day; keep a schedule; network and show up where interesting things are happening (gallery events, readings, and conventions); challenge yourself and look for opportunities to grow your skills. This material is boring
