Recharging My Creativity

The Artist's Way is a twelve week course written by Julia Cameron in 1992 to help unblock and recover your creativity. There are two pivotal tools in creative recovery, 1) Morning Pages, and 2) The Artist Date.

Morning Pages is simply journaling three handwritten pages of your thoughts each and every morning. These pages are for only you to read and no one else.

An Artist Date is a block of time set aside each week and committed to nurturing your creative consciousness.  The artist date is an excursion, a play date that you preplan, and do not take anyone on this date but you and your inner artist, a.k.a your creative child.

I just started The Artist's Way on September 11, 2010, and I am writing this blog completely for my own creative expression and to chronicle my weekly artist dates. This is a great time to start this 12-week program now that my husband has college and professional football to keep him busy. :-)


To live a creative life, we must
lose our fear of being wrong.
