Ratings and reviews

The Heart to Start is an honest and valuable look at the process and effort necessary to produce creative works. I love this book because David portrays creative work in a truthful and down to earth light; it can be difficult, it's not particularly glamorous, and can seem like an impenetrable mystery. I trust David's words, too, because his methods have so clearly been working for him. The Heart To Start is a fairly quick read that delivers on it's promise: you will have the heart to start your creative efforts.
