Recent Reptitude posts examined some of the ideas, exercises and techniques psychologist and creativity expert Eric Maisel presents in his self-taught creativity course or creativity manual, Coaching the Artist Within. You might find these posts useful as a companion to the book or as self-review tools, or as reminders to help you stay on track during your creative journey. If these posts look interesting to you, you might want to pick up a copy of the
book for more in-depth understanding and a more thorough look at what Maisel recommends. (He has written several additional books on Creativity and the many issues creative people routinely face.)
Here is a summary list of what I covered from Coaching the Artist Within, roughly in the same order as addressed in the book.
