About this title: In this bestselling and now classic workbook for writers and other creative types, Julia Cameron, who has written award-winning screenplays and magazine articles, lays out a path based on spiritual principles and practices for those who feel blocked. Cameron presents specific, practical activities and supportive guidance in a voice that inspires self-confidence in the student.

"This book works if you work with Cameron and her terrific techniques of sabotaging your blocks and gentling opening your creativity within--even if you've never seen it before--I've even got two friends working it with me--its fun and imaginative"
"My incredible daughter and son-in-law gave me this book very recently. It requires much discipline and time to conquer the instructions in it. I put it on the shelf until this summer when I had the energy to do something for myself.
I thank them, in my head and my heart every day. It is a work toward bringing out the creative "genius" in all of us. I got some connections to Jungian theories, which I appreciated very much, since I respected it as I was raising my children. It thought it was a nice commentary on life that my daughter turned around and presented me with a fabulous gift like this so many years later. I love how things are connected.
This book enlightens the reader and also helps them deal with some of the challenges brought on by other people. One of my favorite quotes from this book is about anger:
"When people do not want to see something, they get mad at the person who shows them."
This is a great book that dissects us and shows us where to go from there."
"Well, what can I say about this book? It's awesome. And I bought it by accident. It was in a bookstore, watching me from the shelf, and attacked me when I passed it by. And I can say that this is one of the best books I've read, til now, dealing with creativity and how to systematically unlock one's creative mind. What's it about
In my opinion, it's really a comprehensive guide to yourself, not just another one of those 12 steps programs you see in millions out there. Although this is divided in 12 weeks, and at first I was thinking 'Another one of these', but the format in this case defends its place.
The book doesn't work like 'snap', and after reading it you are done. In it Ms Cameron introduces many good questions and thoughts about creativity and how you should live it. And puts you to work to achieve results. Merely reading, as in many other cases, isn't enough. First impressions
When I read this I was like, 'OK now we are going a bit over the top in some things'. But when you let go of your prejudices and read the text with an open mind, it feels good. And after all, if you're supposed to be a creative and open-minded person, you should have an open-minded approach to these things too and determine what works for you best. Possible inspirations
* The concept of describing creativity as it is; a whole that you have to nurture and feed, not a separate feature you can just turn on and off as you please * Creativity should be fun! Like when you were a child. -This point I really enjoyed. Too many times I see, that 'creating' has become a too big deal * Dozens of magnificent quotes to make you think
Possible turn downs
* Talking about God in the sense she does, may drive away some people. But those who have a broad view to life and are able to think outside the box, shouldn't feel any discomfort * Some parts of the texts may be a bit pampering, but perhaps that's just me
Some things from the book
* Artist's dates * Morning pages
For who?
To artists of any kind, and to all those who wrestle with creativity in their lives, or want to understand it a bit better."
