The Burnout Journal for Artists and Creatives

This is a journal for creatives in crisis. Whether you are a writer, a poet, a visual artist, or something else, you probably know how it feels to burn out. None of your projects interest you, everything overwhelms you, and nothing you create seems to have the fire it once did. This happens to all creatives for various reasons, but before you give up and decide maybe you just weren’t made to be an artist, give yourself a chance to recover. In this book, I’ve created an opportunity for you to free yourself from your high expectations and create miniature works based on 101 evocative prompts. Rediscover the emotion, passion and narrative power of creativity within the unthreatening context of a personal journal, and remember what you love about creating art. In this workbook, you will find: • 101 detailed but open-ended prompts to trigger your imagination • A simple double-page spread of workspace for each prompt • Encouragement and practical advice for leaving creative burnout behind
