Sara, I can see how that would be useful--becoming aware of your own biases and the ways in which we tend to sabotage ourselves, especially. <BR/><BR/>I think what's keeping me from doing it is the time-investment-to-perceived-benefit ratio...I'm just not sure exactly how tangible the outcome would be. Also, I'm not always very good at sticking to self-imposed schedules.

I think the difference for me is that she prescribes <I>action</I>: writing morning pages and doing artist's dates, among other things. You don't just sit there and wish for success. (Which is pretty much what I was doing and it wasn't working!)<BR/><BR/>And so much of what she asks you to do is simply look at what you already believe, write it out and really SEE it, so you don't keep bumping up against unacknowledged, submerged obstacles.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-89201922876264004962008-05-09T03:59:00.000-07:002008-05-09T03:59:00.000-07:00I have to say that I've read through a bit of The ...I have to say that I've read through a bit of <I>The Artist's Way</I>... and ...I'm... not a big fan. I say this with the proviso that <B>I didn't actually <I>DO</I> it</B>, but I just skimmed through the first few chapter and it was a bit Stuart Smalley for me.<BR/><BR/>I believe that writing can be both mental and spiritual, but I have trouble with the sort of amorphous belief that exercises and affirmations lead to enhanced creativity and spirituality... it's too <I>The Secret</I> for me -- as if all you have to do is fiddle with the universe and find <B>The One True Thing</B>, and suddenly you will be published and all your dreams will come true.<BR/><BR/>ALL OF US want that kind of power and all of us want that level of success, but I'm leery of things that are so subjective that they come back on the user.
