<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>How can I become more disciplined? How do I know if I'm talented? Should I self-publish? These are just a few of the perennial and contemporary questions addressed in this delightfully different guide. The authors -- from different generations and writing genres -- first help the reader assess where they are on their path. They then walk aspiring writers through five universal stages -- Dream, Draft, Develop, Refine, and Share. While these stages apply to writers of every stripe, the emphasis is always on the reader navigating his or her own challenges, process, and goals. Insight-producing prompts and the wisdom of diverse artists (from Steinbeck and Thoreau to Spike Lee, Marilyn French, and Tom Clancy) help make every writer's journey of creation as rewarding as its destination.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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, <em>The Creative Compass</em> will transform both the stories you tell and the stories you live.<br /><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Thoughtful, thorough, and practical in its application, this is an important work on the creative process, and on the craft, business, and magic of writing."<br /> <strong>-- from the foreword by Terry Brooks, bestselling fantasy novelist</strong><br /> <br /> "A good book about writing will guide you like a torch. You finish it and you've learned some useful lessons; you feel enlightened. But a great writing book is hard to finish because it keeps exploding in your face. All it makes you want to do is write. Everything else: blown away. <em>The Creative Compass</em> is like that, a box of inspiring dynamite. And of course that's just what you want. Boom! Get back to your writing!"<br /> <strong>-- Steven Goldsberry, creative writing professor and author of <em>The Writer's Book of Wisdom</em></strong><br /> <br /> "This is a wonderfully insightful guide to the art of transforming ideas and stories into books. It presents old narrative and stylistic truths in a new, highly imaginative way."<br /> <strong>-- Stephen Kinzer, author of <em>The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War</em></strong><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Dan Millman</strong> is the author of seventeen books, including <em>Way of the Peaceful Warrior</em>, read by millions of people in twenty-nine languages.
