"All sanity depends on this:
that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to
stand upright,
knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh."

The artist-child

Spending time in solitude with your artist child is essential to self-nurturing. A long country walk, a solitary expedition to the beach for a sunrise or sunset, a sortie out to strange church to hear gospel music, to an ethnic neighborhood to taste foreign sights and sounds—your artist might enjoy any of these. Or your artist might like bowling.

Boredom

Boredom is just “What’s the use?” in disguise. And, “What’s the use?” is fear, and fear means you are secretly in despair. So put your fears on the page. Put anything on the page. Put three pages of it on the page.

~ Julia Cameron

#Quotes #AWAD #AnuGarg #Creativity #JuliaCameron

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY (that makes a lot of sense even if I haven't had any brilliantly creative ideas---yet!)

Creativity -- like human life itself -- begins in darkness. We need to acknowledge this. All too often, we think only in terms of light: "And then the lightbulb went on and I got it!" It is true that insights may come to us as flashes. It is true that some of these flashes may be blinding. It is, however, also true that such bright ideas are preceded by a gestation period that is interior, murky, and completely necessary. -Julia Cameron, artist, author, teacher, filmmaker, composer, and journalist (b. 4 Mar 1948)

"The "if I had time" lie is a convenient way to ignore the fact that novels require being written and that writing happens a sentence at a time. Sentences can happen in a moment. Enough stolen moments, enough stolen sentences, and a novel is born — without the luxury of time."

@simonpayn @siona I'm trying to get back into writing morning pages this week. Then I plan to start the 12 week program next week (Jan 8-12) as Week 1, with Week 12 ending March 31.

I'll post each week with #TheArtistsWayAtWork and share how it's going. Hopefully you can join!

And I'll send a direct message this weekend to ask about your interest in having a virtual meeting every few weeks and the timing of that.

Also tagging #TheArtistsWay and #JuliaCameron in case others might want to join.

“Anger is meant to be listened to…Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out…Sloth, apathy, and despair are the enemy. Anger is our friend. Not a nice friend. Not a gentle friend. But a very, very loyal friend. It will always tell us when we have been betrayed. It will always tell us when we have betrayed ourselves…Anger is not the action itself. It is action’s invitation.”
