About the book

Noah Scalin writes, You know that if you practice yoga, guitar, salsa dancing, tennis or pretty much anything else you're going to get better at it. In fact, if you practice every day you're going to be pretty darn good. While you might not think of your own creativity as something you can practice, it actually works the same way.

This interactive workbook was created to help anyone develop creative muscles in 30-day sprints. Each of the six sprints in this book has a theme and includes prompts that will get you drawing, writing, taking photos, making collages or doing anything creative that you choose. Included are motivational stories and quotes from some of the amazing global Creative Sprint community members and writing activities at the end of each 30-day challenge to help you figure out what to do next.
