One of the BEST books for writers of all kinds. Has practical exercises for effortlessly overcoming writer's block and accessing creativity from a variety of unexpected sources. Creatives of all kinds will find inspiration, hands-on exercises, and wise advice from authors Huston and Navé. I take this book wherever a travel and pull it from my bookshelf whenever I feel disillusioned with my daily writing grind. Inspiring!
