The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to the Artist's Way

This is a review I first wrote in 2001 when I was under my former name!I was sceptical about another 'how to' system of creative writing. But I am housebound & wanted something to stimulate me, inspire me and this book, together with The Artist's Way: A Course in Discovering and Recovering Your Creative Self (the instruction book to this, the Companion Volume or exercise book) has reawakened my writing voice. It is not diary writing. That is usually done at the end of a busy day - so easy to choose sleep in preference to writing. The Artist's Way: Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to "the Artist's Way" are where you start the day by offloading worries, celebrating joys, pondering problems, writing a load of rubbish - or it would be to another reader but they are not going to see it so that doesn't matter. You are simply writing to yourself, for yourself.The Journal is a beautiful book in itself, but not so ornate you feel writing in it would spoil the volume. I thoroughly enjoyed using it and will continue the system in exercise books of my own choice. One day I will buy another of these as a refresher course - perhaps when I need a further boost of Julia Cameron's personal and stimulating advice.I recommend The Artist's Way: Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to "the Artist's Way" as a present to your Creative Self.

I do a lot of writing and this Morning Pages Journal is a delight to use - inspiring quotes on each page but still lots of space for my own writing - has really helped to consolidate the work of the 'Artists Way' which has been life-changing
