Creating something can be a wondrous, soul-wrenching practice. Figuring out how to do it with heart and integrity can feel like you're deep in the wilderness.

This book is a companion, right along with you in that wilderness of creation. Whether you are writing a blog post or a novel, creating your first online class, or singing your hundredth song, it's a look at what underscores the process of making something.

There are five sections to roughly follow this process: opening, orientation, creation, disorientation, and completion. Orientation has many facets, including the body, direct experience, and your natural voice.

It's aimed at the ways in which we come to know, and not just know about, the world around and within us.

A Creator's Companion is for those interested in the full experience, not just the shiny bits. It's not a guide that tells you every last detail, because you know the details are always changing, and that's what makes it interesting. That's what makes creation such an attentive practice.
