Book Review: Sustainable Creativity by Michael Nobbs

Calling this a book review is over-stating the case more than a bit; I haven't actually had a chance to read it yet, so this is more link bait than anything else. But just as I was about to file this in my (eternally out-pacing me) "blog later" notes, the appealing irony of the situation convinced me otherwise.

So here you go- a book on how to make room in your life for creative work, written by an author coping with chronic illness, and constrained energy reserves such entails.

I look forward to reading it and reporting back, but in the meantime..
