MYSTERIOUS WAYS They say that God works in mysterious ways. Now, perhaps you don't believe in God, but I'm sure that even if you don't, you admit that sometimes, this world syncs things up in very interesting ways. I find it very funny that chapter 5 of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way is all about… Continue reading The Artist’s Way, Week 6, Ch. 5: Accepting Generosity & Possibility

The Artist’s Way, Week 5: Don’t Let Go of What is Precious to You!
A Terrible Confession Dear readers, I betrayed you by not posting when I said I would. I made it sound like I would post every week, without fail, but I failed to uphold that promise and your trust.

The Artist’s Way, Week 4, Ch. 3: Realizations & Re-filling the Well
This week's Artist's Way was an exciting eye-opener. It felt like getting closer to seeing the top of the mountain as you climb it.

In light of this difficult balance, I decided… Continue reading Don’t compare yourself to other writers

The Artist’s Way, Week 2, Ch. 1: The Artist’s Date & Morning Pages
My Second Chapter of Reading The Artist's Way Reading chapter 1 of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way was not easy. My mind wanted me to skip over it, or parts of it. It said, "What are you doing?
