I don't know why, but I can't get enough of these “daily routines of artists” books. This is a good complement to [b:Process: The Writing Lives of Great Authors 22877454 Process The Writing Lives of Great Authors Sarah Stodola https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1411597737s/22877454.jpg 42442709] - where Process goes deeper into a smaller number of people's lives (and focuses exclusively on authors), Daily Rituals offers smaller sketches, almost vignettes, from a wide variety of artists (authors are represented, as are architects, composers, painters, musicians, etc.)I think I'm equally fascinated by the neurotic ones for whom the act of creation is a struggle and the muse difficult to reliably evoke (they remind me of myself) and by the ones who can work reliably (sometimes obsessively), day in and day out.
