so-so2.5/5⭐ There is some specific information for crafting a journal and drawing in it at the beginning, but the majority of the book is more for generic inspiration. Everything is basically “sit still and draw what you observe“ without much more detail. There are lots of examples with the author's notes about when she drew them. The book is more an exploration of the author's art journal than a how-to.
so-so3/5⭐ There are some good ideas for sparking creativity, getting motivated, and developing a writing habit. Many of the sections resorted to flowery self-help speak that I didn't like or find useful. This book is best for beginning writers or those who want to flip through once in a while when they find their inspiration flagging. #roll100
“I love my story's exuberance, but I'm fatigued by the thought of teaching it to grow up.“
Such a good description for the feeling behind taking a story from idea to finished book.

pickI donated some books at the station book swap a while back and I came home with some too. Always the way. I was obsessed with SARK in my late teens and used to own this tagged book.

pickThe illustrations and information is great for children. This would be awesome for children to have to learn more about poetry! I loved it
