I’m currently half way through reading The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin, and it’s been difficult to put this book down, it has opened my mind more to embracing creativity not as a goal-driven pursuit but as a natural state of awareness, where presence and openness matter more than mastery. Reading this book so far feels like a gentle reminder that my unique perspective is a valuable creative force, and that making art is more about being than doing.

The second book that I picked up is Make Your Mark: The Creative’s Guide to Building a Business With Impact, I’ve yet to read but I thought I’d share anyway because I’ve heard great things about it. I will be starting it as soon as I finish Rick Rubin’s book and will report back with some thoughts.
