{The Artist's Way}

One of the goals I have for this year is to take more opportunities to grow as an artist. I have found that The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron is very helpful, but I have a hard time doing it all alone. So I was thrilled when one of the gals at the 2Peas Pub board suggested a challenge to work through it as a group. I've wanted to do this for a long time, but could never find a group that was just getting started. I jumped at this opportunity!

This group is starting on 14 January, so I need to spend this weekend reading the first chapter. I've done "morning pages" for quite awhile, although they aren't always done in the morning, but whenever I feel a need to write.

Studying this book in a group will be quite a challenge for me, as I tend to read through things carefully and thoughtfully, and work through them slowly ~ I won't be able to do this and keep up with the group. I will have to read and work quickly. Perhaps this will cause me to see things in a different manner than I normally would. And seeing things differently is a good thing!
