About this Book

 

     John Lennon once said “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
     All of us had dreams of being creative when we were young. Many of us wanted to be great artists or actors. Others…rock ’n’ roll idols. Some of us loved wood shop in high school and hoped someday to make all our own furniture. Still others planned to write and publish love poems.

     Then “life happened.” So many of our dreams evaporated, disappeared, dissolved, or were shunted aside for more traditional and practical pursuits—buried under blankets of down-to-earthism. Now, with families raised, roots set, and careers under control, it’s time to address your creative self.
      Gene Perret, 70, author of numerous books and Bob Hope’s chief joke writer for twelve years, knows something himself about being creative after 50. In his warm, caring style, Perret shows the reader the whys and hows of getting his or her sidelined creativity back on track and does it with élan!

 

Perret delights the reader with:
• Reasons to get creative
• Ways to find the time
• Suggestions of what to do
• A host of inspiring and applicable one-time project ideas


Carpe diem. Become the actor, writer, painter, craftsman you’ve always wanted to be. Unleash your creativity!
