"THE ARTIST'S WAY by Julia Cameron is not exclusively about
writing--it is about discovering and developing the artist within
whether a painter, poet, screenwriter or musician--but it is a
"lot" about writing. If you have always wanted to pursue a creative
dream, have always wanted to play and create with words or paints,
this book will gently get you started and help you learn all kinds
of paying-attention techniques; and that, after all, is what being
an artist is all about. It's about learning to pay attention."
--Anne Lamott, Mademoiselle
"The premise of the book is that creativity and spirituality are
the same thing, they come from the same place. And we were created
to use this life to express our individuality, and that over the
course of a lifetime that gets beaten out of us. [THE ARTIST'S WAY]
helped me put aside my fear and not worry about whether the record
would be commercial."
--Grammy award-winning singer Kathy Mattea
"Julia Cameron brings creativity and spirituality together with the
same kind of step-by-step wisdom that Edgar Cayce encouraged. The
result is spiritual creativity as a consistent and nourishing part
of daily life."
--Venture Inward
"I never knew I was a visual artist until I read Julia Cameron's
THE ARTIST'S WAY."
--Jannene Behl in Artist's Magazine
"Julia Cameron's landmark book THE ARTIST'S WAY helped me figure
out who I really was as an adult, not so much as an artist but as a
person. And award-winning journalist and poet, Cameron's genius is
that she doesn't tell readers what they should do to achieve or who
they should be--instead she creates a map for readers to start
exploring these questions themselves."
--Michael F. Melcher, Law Practice magazine
"This is not a self-help book in the normative sense. It is simply
a powerful book that can challenge one to move into an entirely
different state of personal expression and growth."
--Nick Maddox, Deland Beacon
