Julia Cameron quotes about
writing dancing needs
We don't often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing.
artist order joy
In order to thrive as artists we need to be available to the universal flow. When we put a stopper on our capacity for joy by anorectically declining the small gifts of life, we turn aside the larger gifts as well.
writing medicine injury
Writing is medicine. It is an appropriate antidote to injury. It is an appropriate companion for any difficult change.
horse disappointment hard-times
You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club.
practice clothes long
Practice being kind to yourself in small, concrete ways. Look at your refrigerator. Are you feeding yourself nicely? Do you have socdks? An extra set of sheets? What about a new house plant? A thermos for the long drive to work? Allow yourself to pitch out some of your ragged clothes. You don't have to keep everything.
leap
Leap, and the net appears.
time writing perfect
We all have time to write. We have time to write the minute we are willing to write badly, to chase a dead end, to scribble a few words, to write for the hell of it instead of for the perfect and polished result.
procrastination laziness
Do not call procrastination laziness. Call it fear.
technology perspective age
Technology teaches passivity. Absorbed in our devices - at any age - we are absorbed in someone elses perspective.
excellence way done
Doing work points the way to new and better work to be done.
stars heart journey
Walk with me to the edge of the city, / Take off your shoes and feel the earth. / Remember who you are. You are a star. / A mountain, that fountain in the sun. / Your heart is the velvet cave / Where birds sing.
creativity joy focus
You will learn to enjoy the process... and to surrender your need to control the result. You will discover the joy of practising your creativity. The process, not the product, will become your focus.
writing practice life-is
Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.
writing trying waste
We waste a lot of time and a lot of talent trying to write for the common reader, whom we will never meet. Instead we should be writing for our ideal reader.
