In his decades as a psychotherapist and creativity coach; Eric Maisel has found a common thread behind what often gets labeled ldquo;writerrsquo;s block;rdquo; ldquo;procrastination;rdquo; or ldquo;stage fright.rdquo; Itrsquo;s the particular anxiety that; paradoxically; keeps creators from doing; completing; or sharing the work they are driven toward. This ldquo;creative anxietyrdquo; can take the form of avoiding the work; declaring it not good enough; or failing to market it mdash; and it can cripple creators for decades; even lifetimes. But Maisel has learned what sets successful creators apart. He shares these strategies here; including artist-specific stress management; how to work despite bruised egos; day jobs; and other inevitable frustrations; and what not to do to deal with anxiety. Implementing these 24 lessons replaces the pain of not creating with the profound rewards of free artistic self-expression.
