I started getting first reactions to The Anatomy of Creative Blocks<\/em><\/a>. Some of you wrote me that you cried. Some of you told me that the Author's Note hit you straight in the heart. Some of you told me that you felt seen - perhaps for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is this: the reason you're crying... is because I cried too.<\/strong> This book was not written from an ivory tower or a zen period in my life. It was written from my own blocks - long, painful, silent. From those years when I felt unseen and unheard, not because others didn't perceive me... but because I couldn't see myself, I couldn't hear myself and I wasn't myself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eSo the book is about writing? About content creators? About artists?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. It's about people<\/strong>. Creativity is not something you do with a pen, a laptop or a camera. Creativity is your life force<\/strong> - the energy that moves your decisions, your choices, your courage, your identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when you block your creativity, you block your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then we wonder why we feel that way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
