I feel honored to have been following Lucy Bellwood's demon dialogues online since the very beginning. The pieces from her very first inktober challenges are just as sharp and insightful as the later pieces written during the 100 days project. It's very cool to see how her art developed into the finished style she choose for the bulk of the book. Everyone, but especially creative people, struggle with these same type of demon voices: mine tell me that I haven't done enough, no matter how much I do. Case in point, when I got home from Lucy's book release party at 10pm instead of lying in bed and re-reading the book as I should have I sat down at my computer to write three blog posts and answer emails. Was that an instance of me caving to my demon? Or an instance of using my demon's nudging to be productive? What Lucy's book tells us is that both can be true at the same time. The demon is trying to help, but its actions are frantic, sometimes pushing us too hard, at other times holding us back. We can't banish this demon- we must learn to live with it instead. Lucy's book offers a compassionate guide to successful demon co-habitation.
