“A guide should give clear directions and then get out of your way. In this unique collaboration, bestselling author Dan Millman and his daughter Sierra Prasada help to orient you as you advance through five universal stages of creativity: Dream, Draft, Develop, Refine, and Share.

Drawing on the coauthors’ personal stories about overcoming challenges, as well as sage advice from other writers, artists, and innovators, The Creative Compass will transform both the stories you tell and the stories you live.” – The Creative Compass

My Thoughts

The Creative Compass focuses on the five universal stages of the creative process: dream, draft, develop, refine, and share. It gives advice and encouragement on each step to help writers develop the high quality work they have always wanted to produce.

This is one of the many books I have about writing. I am one of those people who can write for weeks nonstop, and then suddenly stop for years. This book inspired me to want to revise some of my old manuscripts, and start new ones. I’m not exactly sure where I’ll find the time to do this while in nursing school, but it definitely is a book that I will refer to and read many times in the future.

Overall, this is an excellent book for anyone who wants to take their inspiration and love of writing further. I highly recommend it for all writers and wannabe authors to become the author they long to be.
