Long before I started the Creative Introvert I had come across the term creative block. It was probably at art college I first had a taste of it. The solution? Didn’t seem to exist. It wasn’t the kind of question I even considered asking my lecturers about. Over the years I’ve got to know creative […]
I’ve gotten to the point where I’m a bit burned out on reading books about creativity, how to be more creative - there are lots of them, and not many of them are worth dipping into other than to procrastinate on doing actual creative work.

This is something I’ve seen hints of in the online business world, with the entrepreneurs, infopreneurs or whatever-preneurs […]

I thought it would be wise to share an excerpt from my very first book, The Creative Introvert: How to Build a Business You Love on Your Terms to celebrate it pre-launch.
