Via Heidi’s year-end roundup, I found out that Tom Hart is writing How to Say Everything, “a book guiding people towards writing visual stories that come naturally to them. … I subtitle it ‘How to get started, how to remain unstuck and how to create forever in any art form.’ ” In other words, a cartooning book that focuses on brainstorming. You can read the entire thing (in its current state of development) through PDF download.

And you should, because it’s an enthusiastic, encouraging workbook that takes you step by step through the creative process. Also, here’s an interview with Hart where he talks more about this and his other projects.
