The Artist's Way

I discovered "The Artists Way" by Julia Cameron several years back. Having found a copy at Goodwill and I've attempted to go on the journey at least 3 or 4 times now. The furthest I've gotten has been Week 3. And then life gets hectic, a bit of self-sabotage creeps in, commitment falters, and I am not able to continue. All the while I feel this incredible creative energy building up inside of me and having no idea what to do with it. Depression follows close behind. Even my current creative outlet of acting, I've found since college, has not been fulfilling my needs of expression. Realizing recently that I'm stuck in spiral, blocked and not able sure how to proceed, filled with energy building up pressure beneath my skin burning me from the inside, something must be done.

And so I enter again on this path. I commit myself to the practice and in hopes of actually holding myself accountable I plan on blogging throughout. Posting findings, inspirations, and experiences as I discover my creative self. The book is organized into twelve chapters, one chapter a week.

I invite you to join me on this 12 week journey or even to just peer in every so often. Comments are welcome.

And go.
