The subconscious, the source of creativity

Maybe you don't understand at first why I am recommending this book to a digitalizer. Do you ever face the challenge of creating a strategy or a concept and you can't think of anything? That's what writers call writer's block. In this case, all the books on techniques and methodologies won't help you much. You need a way to creatively deal with this difficulty.

This book does not belong in the category of "writing techniques", rather it should be read beforehand. Because it doesn't teach how to write the stories, but how they emerge in the subconscious and how they get on the paper. If you have the special luck, either by nature or by training, to put your unconscious in the service of your conscious goals, then you are a genius. All others, like me, must teach themselves to do willingly what a natural talent does of its own accord because of its personality structure.

I don't know what it feels like to write a book. But after a successful rollout of a project, standing in front of a working organization whose employees follow procedures and rules that I have designed, probably feels similar.
