> There is also "the artist way" by Julia Cameron who used to be a producer etc. It is another excellent book. I'm glad you were able to find that book. Natalie Goldberg (sorry I flubbed the name before) also wrote a follow up book, which I have but don't remember the name of. By all means write!!!!!zenn4 -
i went to the book store and bought natalie goldberg's book. it was fantastic! much better in actual book form than it looked on the website.i read the whole thing over the weekend, and i wrote 15 pages or something like that.
(for any of you following along at home, i did read my old journals, and it was instructive - like somebody on the thread zenhussy linked to (thanks zenhussy!) said, i write on my way up and on my way down, and not much at the bottom (which means my perceptions are screwed!))
so to catch up on all my undocumented life would be quite a project ... i do feel ever so much better for starting though and running here and there with my thoughts ... now all i need is a writers group!
i flipped through the artists way at the book store. i liked the idea of "the morning pages", where you write 3 pages every morning come hell or high water, however i think the implementation of this idea will suck because mornings suck. maybe i will migrate the morning pages to the early afternoon or evening, to get me ready for my real day, the one after work. :)
i'm not looking to become an artist and embrace my artist's identity, so i left that book on the shelf.
thanks everybody for chipping in your 2 cents. it's amazing how all us journalers have a lot of similarity.
