I was introduced to the book "The artist's way" this year and it's been a real game-changer for me. It's a 12 week workbook to help unlock your creativity.

“The Artist’s Way” IS a game changer. I discovered it probably about ‘94. Attended a music camp for adults that summer, and discovered there were enough of the others like me that week for us to have a “Morning Pages” in the mess hall before our classes started. Inspired Idea, that book and workbook!👍
I was reading the artist's way and trying to write the three pages a day when I was brought up short by my other responsibilities. I was taking my mother for her first real vacation to a resort in Hana Maui, and I was writing on the plane and she kept wanting to talk with me. I finally realized that she should be a priority. I'm glad I did. She got kidney failure when she got home and fell into a coma. The doctor told me she was brain dead, but she woke up and the first words she said were, "Wasn't Hawaii beautiful?" She died a year later, and we were closer during that year than ever before in our lives. I never got back to writing my three pages a day. Except now, maybe, on Facebook, and on my substack.
I forgot to mention that I also had a childhood dream come true. My friend and I released a song together which you can listen to here https://youtu.be/cM4BtHUk5vo?si=R40E-_h5ZJvZ0Dpr. If I may be so bold it has a bit of a Daft Punk vibe to it. I arranged and played all of the guitar parts. Hope you enjoy
