“Creativity is an exploratory process to find the concealed material within.” -Rick Rubin

This week I found a book that helped me understand creativity more clearly, called “The Creative Act: A Way of Being” by Rick Rubin. I wanted to share it with all the artists here who might need this type of inspiration. Think of this as a conversation over coffee, I will be writing in my voice and just telling you about it and my thoughts related to creativity.

A few years ago I read “On Writing” by Stephen King and he was incredibly honest about how difficult it is to strike a balance between life and this creative process — it led him to turn to drugs — it was not painted as a bed of roses but a process that he had to sort out with much strength. His memoir of the craft was very open and honest.
