I love the book! I'm not sure where I can download the accompanying pdf mentioned in the book though.

I adore this woman! This is a wonderfully quirky, very real and honest book with dozens of fun exercises to get those creative juices flowing. Very happy I listened to it.

[Adrianna Perez · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Knowing that I don't have to stay with in a set cliche, helps me so much.

A new personal favorite! Felicia Day captures the voice of the neurotic and reluctant creative with such perfection that I sometimes almost forgot I was listening to an audiobook, mistaking hers for my own weird inner voice. The narration is encouraging, warm and hilarious with lots of gamer, sci-fi and 90’s references. The ideas and exercises for cultivating your inner creative are well thought out and reminded me of another of my favorite books, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. I can’t say anything negative about this audiobook. It is definitely on my purchase & download list. Well done and thank you to the author and narrator!

I have gone through countless books on creativity and writing and this is, surprisingly, one of the best. I’m going to buy a hard copy and go through it again.

I was looking for something short that I could finish before the end of the year and this was on my Libby wish list so decided to give it a try. I like weird. I've always been weird and proud of it. But I didn't really know much about Felicia Day other than geeks loved her, and I'm a geek so figured I would too.

I didn't realize this was about Creativity and kind of a guide to "unleashing creativity" even though it's in the title, because I didn't read the entire title. :) Seeing that I don't have any fears about creativity other than never finally publishing something, and also seeing that Ms. Day narrated this book sounding like a 17-year-old whose had one too many Red Bulls, I immediately thought about switching to another book. BUT she was kind of funny, and I decided not to be a grumpy old man and step out of my comfort zone.

It was good. It really does seem to be aimed at young creators and anyone trying to motivate young creators is okay in my book. She had some great ideas and a lot of silliness. I did find it motivating and it's a good time too, because with the new year come new focuses and hopefully I'll take some of her advice.
