Why I wrote it
Something inside us begins to die when we keep ignoring our urge to create.
I wrote Create or Die for people with a dying urge to make something great.
Because each time we turn away from what is trying to come through us, something inside us grows quieter.
The book names 48 forces that help that part stay alive.
