So you've retired
and the plan was to do all the things you never had time for. Many of
these things involved reawakening your creativity, but where do you
start. Sometimes it's easier to give up thinking I just don't have it
anymore. This book will change your mind.
Julia Cameron is the
author of many books on creativity. Perhaps the most familiar is “The
Artist's Way.” Building on her initial finding that Morning Pages,
writing three stream of consciousness pages every morning, can clear
your mind and help you focus on what you want to do, Julia has
broadened her program to include memoir writing, solo walks, and
artist dates.
This book lays out a
twelve week program employing all her tools to help people restart
their creativity. Although the books is aimed at people who are
retired or shortly retiring, the book can be helpful to anyone at any
age. The book does focus the examples on older people, but the
problems of seniors hold true across the age spectrum.
I highly recommend
this book. I discovered the "Artist's Way" over 10 years ago and have
been writing Morning Pages ever since. I had always wanted to write.
Writing Morning Pages helped my focus on how to get started. I have
now written seven mystery novels. This program can work for you, too.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
