    About this ebook

    Use this book to spark your imagination, to provoke your inspiration. Pick it up, choose a page randomly, or read a few. It is a book for busy, creative people who would rather make something than sit around reading a lengthy manuscript.
    This is your notebook. Fill the pages with your own notes, your own insights. Draw all over it, dog-ear some pages. If you like something, tear out the page and tape it to the wall. If something is completely stupid get out your biggest, fattest, marker and obliterate it – or rip out and feed it to the shredder.
