You fear mistakes in your art and life.
The failed prototype, the flubbed line, the unoriginal song, the dreamless drama- and yet they are vital to your creativity- they lead to the adjacent possible and form the stepping stones, to new realizations, undiscoverable in any other way.
This book is a reflection journal crafted to nudge you to explore the inner landscape of your creativity as well as believe in yourself as an artist.
Lessons and creative prompts unfold as poets and writers speak universal truths across the centuries, exhorting you to reflect upon your life and what’s what’s meaningful to you on your creative journey.
By documenting observations, aha’s and revelations you bring visibility to the invisible: the dreams that call you, the ones that won’t let go, the ones you simply must say yes to.
The Artist's Journey Creativity Reflection Journal written by artist, best selling author, speaker and Stanford trained existential psychiatrist Nancy Hillis, M.D. is meant to inspire self-discovery, to act as a mirror of your creative process and to encourage you to trust and believe in yourself. This is a “why to” not a “how to” journal to exhort you to finally say YES to your dreams.

Review
Nancy Hillis follows her award winning book, The Artist's Journey: Bold Strokes To Spark Creativity, with an activity packed book designed to help everyone tap into their creative self.
Nancy believes we each are a goldmine of unused creativity. We have the potential to be a painter, poet, dancer, composer, musician or gourmet chef.
Nancy shows you how to awaken your creative soul and find endless possibilities next to you in what she calls the Adjacent Possible.
She connects you to the eternal quest to be your authentic self. Expressive, creative, alive, passionate, joyful, productive.
The transformation is endless, timeless and ongoing- unique for each individual.
"No one can do your homework for you". You can only learn to swim by getting into the water- not watching other people swim.
Nancy's book provides dozens of learning examples and guidelines to help you on your personal path to self discovery, creativity and to your true creative self.
Only you can make the Journey.

Exciting new book from the amazing Nancy Hillis. The Artist's Journey Creativity Reflection Journal. I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview pre-publication at The Artist's Journey Retreat in October. I have it in action alongside my sketchbook preparing for a new project. - Lorraine Willis, Artist
Here are a few of the reasons I love this soulful new book:
- The opportunity to take a deeper look at my own reasons for creating.
- You bring home how my "Why" really matters.
- This adds to my confidence about making art.
- Answering the questions, like making art, involves a process that leads to new discoveries.
- Your compassion helps me admit to my struggles.
- The poetry gives me pause with their profound resonance encouraging me to take myself,
in my sweet life, seriously.
- Your book requires me to pause, breathe deep and listen deeply to myself.
- I'm inspired by the big ideas you offer and also the practical tips to make my dreams reality. You
offer a lovely balance.
-Artist, Julie Dunleavy
