Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of the international bestseller Eat, Pray, Love. Big Magic is a non-fiction book, that describes her creative process. It’ll teach you how to be creative in spite of your fears and how to make sure your creativity keeps flowing freely. Announce to yourself that you’re here to chase your passion, regardless of rejections and reactions. Elizabeth Gilbert suggests an often critiqued, but incredibly stress-free approach: Keep your day job and let it fuel your creative affair.
Imagine having an affair with writing. Every day after work, you could lock yourself in your room and write away, free from worry about paying the bills or where to get the next client. How can you possibly create your best work like that? Gilbert’s ideas are mostly common-sense, but the way she formulates them makes them ring powerfully inside your ears for weeks and months to come.
