I’m still taking much longer than a week to complete the weekly exercises. But keep moving forward, right? I find that I continue to build momentum even though it’s slow. This week’s focus is on recovering a sense of Possibility. Cameron wants you to lean into your relationship with the Creator. Or the Universe. Or…
I’ve been limping along working on my Artistic Recovery. It seems to take me a month to finish these “week” long sessions. That’s my fault, though. Not the program’s. I am very happy with the work that’s coming out of following The Artist’s Way. I wish I was better at following through with it. The…
I’m writing this a few months after the fact. But like the “week” before, it took me more than seven days to finish my exercises from week three of The Artist’s Way. Part of me was tempted to start over and try to do the work in a week but I decided to keep moving…
Every time I build up some sort of momentum, I have a bad habit of squandering it. That’s right. Just call me Sisyphus. He’s the guy that was cursed to roll a large boulder up a hill every morning. Only to see it roll back down to where he started by the end of the…
My second “week” of The Artist’s Way took longer than a week… Just like the first “week”. It’s not that it took so long to do the exercises. It took me a while to do the check-in. Not this blog post, but the check-in exercise that’s part of the program. I’m not sure why. I…
My first week of going through The Artist’s Way was relatively easy. Although it took me about fourteen days to finish the “week.” It’s not that it took so long to go through the activities. It was the Check-In at the end of the week that took so long. I kept putting it off. I…
Wow. Thirty Days passed faster than I thought they would. Yesterday was my thirtieth day of shipping. I can relax. And you won’t overwhelmed with too much content. It’s funny. When the year began, I hoped to write a post a week. In fact, I wanted to write 58 posts in my 58th year. But…
I missed celebrating an anniversary last October. No, it wasn’t my wedding anniversary. I remembered that. Last October marked the tenth year that I have been blogging. Wow. I’ve blogged in fits and starts over the years. And the subjects of my posts have ranged all over the place. There was my “year of living…
“It’s the good advice, that you just didn’t take And who would’ve thought it figures?” Alanis Morrissette A year ago, my brother suggested that I make a Kindle version of my book Laund-o-mat at the End of the World. (The typo in the title is deliberate.) It’s a collection of three of my one-act…
I’m convinced that my creative muscles are similar to my physical muscles. If they don’t get used regularly, they atrophy. Even if you’ve been using them regularly and they’re in “good shape” but you stop for an extended amount of time, they will atrophy again. I’m a runner. But I don’t always run. If I…
