DESCRIPTION - Minding the Muse is a practical handbook for the artist or writer--highly experienced, aspiring, or somewhere in between. Long draws from her extensive background as a poet, writer, and master teacher, but also gathers the insights and practices of a wide range of high-achieving artists, including mystery writer Raymond Chandler, choreographer Twyla Tharp, poet and performance artist Patti Smith, and the painter Joan Miro. Beginning with the first sparks of artistic creation--Gathering, Hoarding, Conceptualizing--Long moves through the various stages to Completing Works and Poet as Peddler, Painter as Pusher: Marketing. Every creative worker will find something here to take to heart and into the studio or workroom. I found Long's advice, along with the examples she pulls from other books and studies on creativity, to be reliably fresh and unorthodox. I loved being reminded to strictly cordon my messy drafting stage from the critical revising stage and the gutty purveying stage. I liked her form of telling me flatly what to do without pandering to my ego. I admired her various elegant ways of commanding me to embrace the old-fangled: get back to work, and work hard. [. ] The simple fact is that I read these two self-help books and I went sweetly adrift in them [. ] and when I came out the other side I felt somehow both richly served and pleasantly on my own again. --Bonnie J. Rough for the Seattle Review of Books. Priscilla Long's slim handbook for artists suggests ways to reflect on one's creativity and so become a more effective creator. It is pithier and more intellectually respectful than recent creativity how-tos like Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, and old standards like Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. --Pamela Hobart Carter, The Seattle Star. A great short book, suitable for all creative types [. ] I gained some really cool insights and practices that I will use to help me in my creative endeavors. --Leigh Martinuzzi, The Hidden Why. With stunning freshness and clearmindedness, Priscilla Long explores how to live a life in consonance with one's creative goals. She offers inspiring advice from many high-achieving creative individuals. Readers are certain to come away with renewed confidence and many practical maneuvers they can't wait to try. On the balance scales, in terms of usefulness and of being a joy to read, this short book outweighs dozens of others on the topic. --Susan K. Perry, PhD, author of the bestselling Writing in Flow, Creating in Flow blogger at PsychologyToday. com, and author of the novel, Kylie's Heel. Do you get bogged down in creating the works you imagine? Priscilla Long's handbook pulled me right in, to help me move beyond where I get stuck--making space, dealing with feelings, getting out in the world, and more. This accessible, comprehensive, and, well, creative, book is a gift for anyone who wants a fruitful, creative life. --Sondra Kornblatt, author of Restful Insomnia, and A Better Brain at Any Age inventory #46782.…
