Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

For writers and all kinds of professional or hobby artists, I highly recommend the book “The Practice” by Seth Godin. I read it almost a year back and it has still stayed with me. I have taken notes from the book and refer to them off and on when I need inspiration. You will find those notes posted on this blog as well.
Here is my review of the book posted on Amazon:;
Inspiring and eye-opening reading
For a writer, this book is a great source of inspiration and method to build a practice. It helped me think about writing as a service to an audience, with the purpose of bringing about some change. It helped me bring more discipline into my art by focusing on process over outcome. The sections on intent were very useful to think about art as a generous service for a defined audience for professional writers. Of course, I would have loved more specific examples on how to determine who it’s for and what it’s for. Seth’s style of coaching artists is similar to his style he has used in the past for small business marketing. It works well to help build a practice of your art.
