For the majority of my life, every creative I knew existed in one of two 1. Inspired and creating! 2. Blocked and silent.
I assumed this was normal until a few years ago, when two small strokes stole all my words. I could no longer wait on the "pattern" to assert itself. My words did not come back on their own, so I faced a give up writing for good, or find a way around.
Creative, this book is the way around.
Involving neuroscience, psychology, and studies from across the globe, the Two-Rule Recovery charts a course that anyone can follow to escape block for good and create a daily habit of creation.
In this book, I'll break down definitions, identity, and more, tackling many of the issues that left you blocked. Each chapter also includes simple application for you to practice what you've learned.
There is hope for you, creative. You are not alone. Join me on this journey, and together, let's make something new.
