Last week, I took a closer look at my collection of performing arts and creative writing books that have been waiting on my shelf. Now, I have a reading plan to dive into these works and immerse myself in their insights before the year ends.
Week 1: "Fine on Acting" by Howard Fine
Week 2: "A Challenge for the Actor" by Uta Hagen
Week 3: "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert
Week 4: "The Creative Habit" by Twyla Tharp
Week 5: "A Life in Parts" by Bryan Cranston
Week 6: "Greenlights" by Matthew McConaughey
I'm excited to officially start Week 1 tomorrow! I've already begun reading "Fine on Acting" and have had so many lightbulb moments. These early insights have already set a powerful tone for the weeks ahead.
Matthew McConaughey's "Greenlights" on week 6 will ease me into the new year, perfectly bridging the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025.
Feel free to join in—either by following this plan or creating your own. Body doubling can be a great way to stay motivated and engaged. The goal is to read, not to be perfect.
Here's to a thoughtful and enriching end to the year! 📚✨
