Here you will read the worlds of men and women in a wide range of creative fields: artists, writers, architects, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, actors, sculptors, chefs, photographers, crafters, and designers of all sorts. You will see how creativity transcends borders and you will be asked to make that leap, too. On special pages sprinkled through, you will doodle to themes to spur your creativity and will record personal creative epiphanies throughout the year.
You will also be urged to move to the edge or even outside of your creative comfort zone. Most of the tools you'll need for these challenges will be on hand or easily accessible: pencils, markers, colored pencils, erasers, ink pads, crayons, paint, modeling material, glitter, a camera. More important, though, you will need to engage your own persistence, patience, imagination, and daring as you stretch the boundaries of your creativity. The entries in this journal are for you to date, so that you can dip in and out as the fancy strikes or as your muse leads you. At the end of the 365 days, you will find that you have built a portfolio of creativity that showcases your most inspired year ever.
