For those of us who write, particularly poetry, the Paris Review "Writers at Work" and "Poets at Work" interview series, available in (used) book form as well as online to subscribers, provides many helpful reality-checks and encouragements from well-known practitioners. Sometimes the fact that a Famous Writer hit the same potholes that I do is a helpful jump-start to get me back into productivity mode.

I would add to the list Fearless Writing by William Kenower. He understands and articulates the importance of the Flow state. It’s pretty funny to me that you contrapoint every creativity recommendation against a disavowal of whatever it is you think “woo-woo” means. I’d like to hear you unpack that word; seems like it’s in a pretty big suitcase. Cheers!
