If you haven't heard of The Artist's Way... Yes you have. It's that book everybody on YouTube keeps recommending to cure your art block/find yourself/become who you are meant to be/other lovely sounding, vague positivity.

The thing is, I didn't want to read this book. But my friends kept insisting... So I finally picked up. Needless to say I was very skeptical initially... I mean, the writing is so. dang. cheesy. But after I read literally the first actual chapter (past the introduction), I... yeah.

I changed my mind.
