Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for a special guided 5 Minute Outline. And this time, we're not going to outline anything at all.

There’s nothing wrong with producing things, of course. Making something tangible out of the intangible is magic, by definition.

But there’s a difference between alchemy and sleight of hand—and a true flow state is never an illusion.

There is a not-so-small part of me that wishes I could finish this episode with a formula for you. That the 5 Minute Outline or some other tool had finally unlocked the doors to the Realm of Creativity, where all is flow and flow is all.

But creativity simply needs white space, like the margins of a good book.
