Quick Spotlight: The Art of Getting Started by Lee Crutchley

http://leecrutchley.co.uk/

For fans of books like Wreck This Journal and The Pointless Book.

The Art of Getting Started is a little interactive journal. It’s great to kick-start creativity or if you’re like me, something to do when you need time away from a project that is giving you trouble and you want to distract your mind.

What drew me to this book is all the fantastic activities in it. There’s drawing and writing exercises (including list making. Perfect for me. I love lists.) This book had me at the first page as it asks you to fill it with positive words. It’s also filled with great quotes to inspire you too. A small thing but it’s also small enough to fit into your handbag so you can carry it with you if you wanted to.

I am enjoying making my way through this book and I wanted to share it with you.
