Reclaim Your Vision, Break Through Resistance, and Make Art That Matters
This book is not about hacks, habits, or hustle.
The Defiant Creative Process is a raw and radically honest look at what it means to keep making art in a culture that constantly pulls you away from it. It's for artists, writers, and creative people of all kinds who are tired of the noise, the self-doubt, the shame spirals, and the endless pressure to produce-or disappear.
Through personal narrative, cultural analysis, and lived creative practice, this book explores the real reasons so many of us stall out: not laziness, but resistance. Not lack of discipline, but disconnection. Not a broken process, but a process that's been co-opted by systems that want your work to be safe, sellable, and small.
Inside, you'll find:
A reclamation of creative work as resistance, meaning-making, and survival Permission to work slowly, cyclically, and imperfectly A dismantling of toxic narratives about productivity, success, and worth Tools for moving through doubt, fear, and the deep discomfort of making An invitation to return to your own strange, urgent, necessary vision
This isn't a book that tells you how to get more done. It's a book that reminds you why you started. And why it still matters.
