Yesterday I mentioned how I was throwing out some morning pages and night journals. Just in case anyone wanted to know what exactly makes up a night journal, I thought I’d write an entry about the topic. I’m pretty sure I got the idea from another of Julia Cameron’s books, but I can’t recall which […]
Have you ever noticed that sometimes people misunderstand the things you say? No matter how hard you try they just keep on getting the wrong message. I had an incident like this today. The woman was a pleasant enough individual, but she seemed to have a defensive attitude, so it didn’t matter how much work […]
Some time ago now I worked through the book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. One of the many exercises included collaging your goals, hopes and dreams.

Less seriously you can read anything by SARK, […]
The idea of taking adventures specifically for the purpose of renewing yourself and your perspective is not a new idea.

A few entries ago I mentioned Morning Pages and promised more on the topic. While reading and researching online I came across Angela Booth’s blog where she describes using Morning Pages in her writing. Angela links to a good description on how to do Morning Pages.
David LaMotte, a songwriter, gives an excellent description of how […]
Since I read The Artist’s Way several years ago I’ve been a fan of Julia Cameron. Not a totally sold out fan, though. There’s some things she says that are spot on, in my opinion, yet some of her beliefs are simply that; beliefs that I could never agree with. But as I’ve discovered there’s […]
