About this ebook

The award-winning author and filmmaker shares 9 strategies for getting past creative burn-out and rekindling your imagination.

Contrary to popular belief, creativity isn’t just about muses and mentors. It’s a process that requires focus, determination, and practice. Creative blocks are just a part of that process. In Stoking the Creative Fires, Phil Cousineau offers creative people of all disciplines the tools for getting past creative blocks and rekindling passion.

Stoking the Creative Fires also shares a multitude of stories, ideas, and exercises that will inspire readers to live passionately and creatively, whether building a business, an art project, or a life. Drawn from historical and contemporary figures, artists, and from his own experience, Cousineau presents creative techniques, quotes, and handpicked images to help explore and define your creative discipline and vision.
