The Joyful Practice Handbook creativity prompts

The Joyful Practice Handbook is a typewritten, hand-illustrated guidebook designed for people who want to explore creative process through analog play. It was created for writers and artists of all types, including those who are afraid to call themselves writers or artists but long to get lost in creative work.

We offer this book as an antidote to grind culture and digital imperialism. We hope it helps you to reclaim your time, your joy, your rage, and find refuge in creative practice.

Throughout the handbook, we offer guidance for beginning, expanding, or reigniting your creative practice, as well as prompts and invitations for creative play that you can adapt as you see fit.

This handbook will help you remember that we don't make art to be clever or good. We make art to locate our deepest truths, to learn how to live by them.
