Okay. So this is going to sound weird. Not a book recommendation - but rather a video game.
Thought it’s about as non-fiction of a game as you can get. And it even talks about creative tools and the philosophy of what inspires creators.
Its called: “The Beginners Guide”
You can find it on Steam, and it’s about 2 hours long. It is basically a narrator walking you through some video games he liked playing from a certain artist that disappeared. He just analyzes the decisions the artist made in the game and why before moving you, the player, to another game from that artist.
Most of the gameplay is very limited. Just walking and looking. Almost like you’re going through a museum that itself is a work of art being described to you by someone who appreciates it.
There’s a couple of clever twists, but when it comes to finding yourself creatively again, it certainly helped me.
Admittedly I’m a writer, but trying new experiences is what gets me creatively working again.
This one certainly did it for me, and thought I’d at least recommend the same.
