When I began writing, my journals and conversations focused more on the lives of others than on my own. It took me ages to see my experiences as worthy of interest. Julia Cameron helped me immensely toward that end. Her The Artist’s Way, a 12-week creativity workbook, totally rocked my world. Eventually, the process spurred me beyond journalism and into novel writing (about my books here).
The number of Artist’s Way fans has grown exponentially since her first premiered in the early 1990s. She’s since gone on to publish a long list of variations on her initial theme. Her second one, The Vein of Gold: a Journey to Your Creative Heart, came at exactly the right time for me…
Her It’s Never Too Late takes things a step further. It coaches readers to review where they’ve been so they can dream of where to take their lives…
Kirsten Bett is another author who gleans much value from The Artist’s Way. As much from New Zealand as she is from the Netherlands, she’s published My Name is Wilma: I was called Willem for a day in both English and Dutch. Check out Kirsten’s site to learn more about her and her writing…
