MAKE A MESS

Margarita Tartakovsky

Daily Prompts and Projects for Rediscovering Your Creativity And Living A More Playful Life

Most of us would never describe ourselves as creative. And yet each of us is creative from birth – a fact we've simply forgotten in our adulthood. MAKE A MESS is an invitation to explore the nooks and crannies of your creativity!

MAKE A MESS contains 365 prompts, projects and activities, one to play with every daySome prompts focus on self-doubt, because it stops so many of us from creating. Other prompts focus on embracing mistakes, because perfectionism can be a creativity crusher too. Still others are all about reconnecting to our inner artists by doodling, drawing and snapping pictures. Plus, there are prompts that ask you to pretend to be someone else or something else. Because creativity is play. And make-believe. And magic. You'll also find unique prompts and creative insights written by 17 authors, artists, photographers and creativity coaches. Because creativity is all about different viewpoints and perspectives. The contributors include: Ellen Olson-Brown, Flora Bowley, Susannah Conway, Mara Glatzel, Anna Guest-Jelley, Jolie Guillebeau, Miranda Hersey, Christine Mason Miller, Shiloh Sophia McCloud, Vivienne McMaster, Gail McMeekin, Mark Nepo, Mary Anne Radmacher, Andrea Scher, Carla Sonheim, Maya Stein, and Michelle War. Margarita Tartakovsky is an associate editor at PsychCentral.com, an award-winning mental health website.
