Initiating or sustaining a creative life is a daunting (and exhilarating) prospect. Whether you are just starting out or an old pro needing a little boost, here are a selection of great books to keep you moving in your right direction.


(This summary is provided by Tasneem Husain, who wrote it up after my BookWisdom salon in October 2007. Thank you, Tasneem.)

The Creative Habit
by Twyla Tharp

A smart and practical book. Urges you to write your creative autobiography and take an inventory of your skills. Includes a section on getting out of ruts.

The Artist's Way
Julia Cameron

A spiritual approach to living creatively. A classic that brought us morning pages and the weekly artist's date.

Creating a Life Worth Living
by Carol Lloyd

Focuses on building a creative life, helping you to clarify who you are. Especially useful for people early in their careers. 
 
12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women
by Gail McMeekin

Aptly subtitled "a portable mentor." A soulful and strategic book that relays the wisdom of other women. Helps you to assess your creative life style. Inspirational.
 
A Writer's Diary
by Virginia Woolf

A collection from her diary from 1918 until 1941. An intimate portrait of the nuts and bolts, emotions, and logistics of being a writer.
