The Creative Habit

I just have to recommend this book, The Creative Habit. It was written by Twyla Tharp, the choreographer.

Now, one might ask what choreography has to do with music composition, but let me assure you Ms. Tharp is a kindered spirit in the realm of creativity. She is a huge fan of Mozart and Beethoven, and frequently writes about their lives to help explain creativity.

And the idea that creativity is a habit, something to practice and get into each and every day, is a valuable lesson for anyone in the creative arts. This book shows you how to get into the habit, no matter what your creative bent is.

Highly recommended!
