    About this ebook

    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. Whether you’re seeking new goals, the discipline to reach them, a shield against self-doubt and inertia, or practical advice on sorting through feedback and connecting with readers — you’ll find a way forward in this fresh approach to writing and storytelling. 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.

      Definitely good material here, including a helpful way to think about the stages of a writing project and the wonderful insight that writer's block is simply a case of not being able to write at the standard you expect from yourself (versus not being able to write at all).
      However, I had already heard Mr. Millman speak at a writers' conference and most of the best insights actually came from his talk, rather than the book. And, I'm sorry to say, I didn't find any value in the chapters contributed by his daughter. She may well be a fine writer, but her musings didn't help me.
      By all means, take a look at this book, but you might want to consider a library copy first.
