The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

I heard today about an Artist's Way group, with monthly get togethers by phone to check in how people are getting on with each chapter.  I did the Artist's Way with a friend around 8 years ago.  It's really powerful. I thought the artist's date was the most useful part for me and it's the one I continued to do long afterwards.  An artist's date is where you spend an hour doing something that inspires you, (not making art), just something like going to see an exhibition, or browsing through a fabric shop, or going to a car boot sale or market.  I struggled with the morning pages...the getting up early!! as well as the fact it stirs things up quite a bit.  Well worth a look though, the book or a course, check out http://www.theartistsway.com/
