I just finished this book called "Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity" by Hugh MacLeod. I was looking up books on creativity at Barnes & Noble, and the lady found this title which intrigued both of us...
It's expensive for the size of the book, but it inspired me unlike many other books which I've spent much more $ on. In fact that is what got me started blogging.The author has his own blog, which is how he got started on his book check out

Since I finished it last night, I started my blog, which I'm still trying to figure out how to work all of this stuff, I started drawing and doodling again, reading The Gift (by Lewis Hyde) which is much slower, and less entertaining, but very good in its own way, and trying to allow the creativity to flow. I am aware that this is not a pro drawing, it's just supposed to be amusing, and it amuses at least me - which I think is the point. I was a kid, like many, who thought that any schmuck with a guitar could become instantly rich and famous. I had to learn many things the hard way, but "...experience... it's a brutal teacher, but by-God you learn." Anthony Hopkins portraying C.S. Lewis in "Shadowlands". I don't know if that's an actual Lewis quote, but it is a fitting, and great one!
I hope you have a tremendous day, and that many happy, and lucky coincidences happen your way.
