Film producer Don Hahn offers his own unorthodox, yet highly effective methods for reawakening the creative spirit. Blending personal and often hilarious ancedotes with prescriptive advice for rediscovering your creative self, Hahn explores the emotions that accompany creativity and discusses the importance of constructing a creative environment.
Hahn describes the creative process in stages and lists the forces that drive creativity: balance, chaos, persistence, truth - plus chocolate and coffee. Best of all, he demonstrates how his theories can be put into practice, using his own highly successful career as an example.

From the Author

Reawakening your creative spirit
Hi Amazon readers, The title "Dancing Corn Dogs in the Night" describes a memory from my childhood of the animated snackbar commercial that played before the main feature at the drive-in movies. We all have images in our mind from our childhood — images of family, of friends — all from a time early in our life when we literally oozed with creativity. As an adult, somehow we've lost some of the inborn zeal to create that is the core of every human spirit. "Dancing Corn Dogs in the Night" is a collection of stories and observations meant to incite your creative spirit.

The book explores the stories of the heartache and triumph of the creative spirit, the forces and fears that drive us to contribute to the human project — to give up our spectator status in life and be a full fledged participant in the game of creation. It tells the story of creativity not in a serious or academic way — there are plenty of books that accomplish that — but in an unorthodox and occasionally irreverent way that will challenge the reader to look deeper into the hopes and dreams of their own creative life. I hope you enjoy the spirit of this book and that you use it as a point of departure in your creative adventure, be it writing, painting, baking or fly fishing. With best wishes for happy reading, Don Hahn
