"I've said it other places and I'll say it again... Chris Orwig's 'The Creative Fight' is absolutely brilliant. I have the book in my hands and am sincerely moved. A complete interrupter. It's a new standard in catalyzing creativity. I could not recommend this more highly." Dane SandersIntroduction: We're born creative. What went wrong? 1. THE FIGHT IS UNDEFINED Lost goals and vision blurred The ladder that leans against wrong tree Steel and flint John Muir or Atila the Hun Debunking the right/left brain myth Designed for more Chlorophyll in your veins The story of the gutter palm 2. YOU'RE USING THE WRONG MAP Four corners of the same piece of bread The winepress that changed the world Creativity isn't weird This is more ordinary than you think The art of riding waves My dog ate my manuscript 3. THE CAMERA IS A LIFE SAVING DEVICE Focus and blur Passport Savor and deepen The flaw makes the frame Grit, guts, and resolve Magnificent in mundane Uninteresting point of view Photography is dead Shutter blink More beautiful with age 4. IDENTITY Dr. Seuss was afraid of kids The day my ego died Humility and low self-esteem Public persona without an internal frame Bright red ink Comparison is a thief Vulnerable veneer 5. NATURAL HABITAT VS. THE ZOO Heat rocks and tall trees 3 desks and 2 hats My weakness is books You can never have too many tools Surround sound Basecamp Mutinous revolt 6. SHARPEN THE TOOL Prime lens Dull axe is a dangerous thing Too many nails Talent versus skill Gratitude steers the ship 10,000 hours is a lie Lost at sea 7. QUIET The larger the crowd the smaller our lives Double doors Whispers of the divine Listen before you speak Mute for a day 8. VITAMIN C Beauty as well as bread The practice of art is sustenance for the soul Switch tasking is a disease Killing birds is unkind 90 to 50 percent Pursue the light Worst version of yourself 9. BOOMERANG Broken window Trash can friends Heart rate Your pictures fall short Tune the guitar before you play Footage from the front lines 10. ITERATE Inspiration is unpredictable or the fickle muse The pencil is mightier than the pen Cultivate curiosity Make a mess Discontent isn't enough Buy another lens Those who quiver are the best prepared 11. WHAT MAKES YOU TICK The stringless guitar Honest and close Iambic pentameter Window to the soul Your heart is a wood burning stove Small threads connect us all Your creative license can be revoked 12. IMPOSTERS UNITE Born of risk, refined by fire Fish that swallowed the key Harvard of the high seas Most famous cover band in the world Uprising tide Ashes or dust 13. SHAME AND REGRET The unwanted gift Yo-Yo Ma's mistake Too cool for school Common sense is a con artist Boredom is blasphemy Forward lean 14. GOING ROGUE You can't steer a parked car Paint your greenhouse blue Shoot the first frame Ignite the armchair Really bad art Hipsters and pioneers Two different shoes Creativity begets more
