Summary

A 6-Week Artist’s Way Program

Julia Cameron has been teaching the world about creativity since her seminal book, The Artist’s Way, first broke open the conversation around art。

Now, in Write for Life, she turns to one of the subjects closest to her heart: the art and practice of writing。

Over the course of six weeks, Cameron carefully guides readers step by step through the creative process。 This latest guide in the Artist’s Way Series:

- Introduces a new tool and expands on powerful tried and true methods。

- Gently guides readers through many common creative issues — from procrastinating and getting started, to dealing with doubt, deadlines, and “crazymakers。”

- Will help you reach your goals, whether your project is a novel, poetry, screenplay, standup, or songwriting。

With the learned experience of a lifetime of writing, Cameron gives readers practical tools to start, pursue, and finish their writing project。 Write for Life is an essential read for writers who have completed The Artist’s Way and are looking to continue their creative journey or new writers who are just putting pen to paper。

I think Julia Cameron can help me achieve anything, except weight loss。She set the bar so high with Artist's Way that it is difficult for her to top it。 That said, I have putchased many copies of all of her books。 I have gifted mny and I read and read others。This book is wonderful if you don't yet think of yourself as a writer。 She will convince you that you are and that your story is worth telling。This book is wonderful for any creative or imaginatve endeavor。But I have to say - check out her o I think Julia Cameron can help me achieve anything, except weight loss。She set the bar so high with Artist's Way that it is difficult for her to top it。 That said, I have putchased many copies of all of her books。 I have gifted mny and I read and read others。This book is wonderful if you don't yet think of yourself as a writer。 She will convince you that you are and that your story is worth telling。This book is wonderful for any creative or imaginatve endeavor。But I have to say - check out her older works as well!

I read Cameron's The Artist's Way years ago and implemented many of her suggestions。 Years passed and some of those writing habits dropped away。 I was happy to find this new book by her。 It is a good combination of instruction on her writing suggestions as well as an enlightening account of her personal writing life。Cameron believes anyone can write and she encourages us to put pen to paper。 She reminds us of Morning Pages and how they release writing。 She provides a six week writing practice il I read Cameron's The Artist's Way years ago and implemented many of her suggestions。 Years passed and some of those writing habits dropped away。 I was happy to find this new book by her。 It is a good combination of instruction on her writing suggestions as well as an enlightening account of her personal writing life。Cameron believes anyone can write and she encourages us to put pen to paper。 She reminds us of Morning Pages and how they release writing。 She provides a six week writing practice illustrated with personal stories。 She helps us create writing habits and instill a writing routine。 She has tips on how to grab time to write。Cameron loves to write and encourage others to write。 She covers real issues facing writers in this honest yet inspiring book。 She shares her own ideas for when the slate is blank and there is no inspiration。 She helps us in writing the draft, editing, rewriting, getting feedback, polishing, and knowing when the work is finished。I recommend this book to seasoned writers as well as aspiring ones。 Seasoned writers will get a shot in the arm and aspiring writers will gain instruction and encouragement。 Read Cameron's latest book and again be challenged to risk authenticity in your writing。I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher。 My comments are an independent and honest review。 。。。more

This is a book about Julia Cameron’s love for writing。 She shares what she has learned over the years and introduces a six-week program that is set up to inspire with tasks and a weekly action plan。 Why six weeks? It’s a starting point to encourage people to be creative。 Readers are given an assignment to write “Morning Pages,” take daily walks and embrace spiritual practices which opens up the mind to form new ideas to put on paper。She encourages readers to write every day in a long-hand form w This is a book about Julia Cameron’s love for writing。 She shares what she has learned over the years and introduces a six-week program that is set up to inspire with tasks and a weekly action plan。 Why six weeks? It’s a starting point to encourage people to be creative。 Readers are given an assignment to write “Morning Pages,” take daily walks and embrace spiritual practices which opens up the mind to form new ideas to put on paper。She encourages readers to write every day in a long-hand form without the distraction of the media devices。 While a lot of well-known authors are known to do this, I’m not sure this strategy will work with the new generation of adults who think and write on the keyboard with a phone within reach。Julia Cameron is known for her prized publication, “The Artist Way。” She has inspired many that are stuck to get back in the program and renew their craft。 This book includes similar wisdom and tips that may work for many types of fields。 She includes several quotes from other writers。 My favorite is from Mark Twain who said, “write what you know。” Clearly, her goal is to motivate those that are mostly beginners with simple writing exercises from her personal experiences。 She said, “prayer works” which may not resonate with all readers。My thanks to Julia Cameron, St。 Martin’s Essentials and NetGalley for allowing me to read this advanced copy with the expected release date of January 10, 2023。 。。。more
