This book is a collection of 24 essays for people whose lives are formed by creative practice: painters, musicians, writers, filmmakers, designers, and anyone for whom the question of how to keep the work alive is a real one. The essays take up attention, ritual, completeness, going back to abandoned projects, the conditions under which good work tends to happen, and the conditions under which it doesn't. Each closes with a question for the reader. Original artwork runs throughout.
This isn't a productivity book. You read it the way a working artist reads: slowly, alone, and looking for the sentence that changes everything.
