One of the hardest exercises is the simplest - write three pages in a journal every day...<br /><br />"[TAW] is a workbook for anyone who is creative, feels blocked in their creativity or wishes that they were more creative. The book begins with the statement that *everyone* is creative and has the artist within them, and the point of this course is to recover their inner artist. It is divided into a 12 week course, with assignments much like any semester-type college class."<br /><br />http://paperartstudio.tripod.com/artistsway/<br /><br />http://www.theartistsway.com/Point2Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736249409600402962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766509879214845307.post-24661616437817884832009-06-18T10:27:51.880-04:002009-06-18T10:27:51.880-04:00CD: Thanks for sharing the link to your other blog...CD: Thanks for sharing the link to your other blog. I do love your poetry and completely respect your process. My Gabe was a poet when I met him and he wrote morning pages every day and then sat in cafes in the afternoons and let his poems emerge.<br /><br />I personally find that I have to write every day. Morning pages are essential to the quality of my writing. I have to have the first few minutes of every day to purge my negativity and let go of my resentments so I can be clear to sit down in the afternoon for a scheduled hour and just write whatever comes out.<br /><br />Another essential piece of my writing is inspiration. That's why I like Artist Dates, because I need to keep my creativity active. I need that hour a week to do something special for my innter artist like go to an artsy movie, a museum, Barnes and Noble, Blick, or do watercolors in Rittenhouse Square. <br /><br />It all boils down to time for me. My artist just needs a little attention. Great post my friend.Pop Culture Casualtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416606535338340018noreply@blogger.com
