It is important, she says, to be ready for this inspiration by making time to be at work and to be always creating while at work. The problem, Tharp writes, is that there is no way for creative people to know exactly when inspiration will strike. For example, it is important to come to work every day with a "starting ritual." The use of rituals may seem counterproductive to the creative process, which relies in many ways on spontaneity. In many instances, Tharp says it is best to rely on rituals for creativity to happen. Written at the age of sixty-five, Tharp draws on a lifetime of experiences to put forth handy tips to help readers foster creativity both in their work and in their everyday lives. The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It For Life (2003), a self-improvement book by legendary American dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp, seeks to set out a blueprint to help readers turn creativity into not just a conscious act, but an unconscious habit.
