The Creative Compass: Writing Your Way from Inspiration to Publication by father and daughter coauthors Dan Millman and Sierra Prasada. If you’re a writer, storyteller, artist, or innovator, the five universal stages of creativity presented in this book will help you to: pursue ideas with which you strongly connect; observe what works for you and commit to it; work through inevitable doubt and anxiety; appreciate drafts as essential layers leading to quality work and mastery of craft; and recognize, in the practice, a metaphor that will enrich your life.
