We Need Your Art

More about the book

From Amie McNee, the voice behind Inspired to Write, comes a manifesto emphasizing the crucial human need for creativity, offering guidance for artists at any stage. McNee urges all creatives to embrace their calling to create, drawing from her experiences as a novelist and creative coach. She introduces a two-week reset plan to help you establish a sustainable creative habit, focusing on small, manageable steps—like writing five hundred words daily or sketching each evening—to prevent burnout and foster consistent output. The book addresses common challenges faced by creatives, such as impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and procrastination, while encouraging you to celebrate your ambitions. Each chapter features journal prompts to help you integrate these insights into your life. This work aims to reframe our understanding of creativity, dispelling the shame and fear associated with identifying as an artist and inviting you to create with pride. It serves as a warm hug, a motivational pep talk, and the supportive guidance you need to ignite your passion for art.
