argued believe book capacity deal few great mythology normal people wrote
I think we have a great deal of mythology around writing. We believe that only a few people can really do it. I wrote a book called 'The Right to Write.' In it, I argued that all of us have the capacity to write. That it's as normal to write as it is to speak.
changed intricate life people
My life is at least as intricate as my readers' lives. People say that 'The Artist's Way' changed their lives, but when they talk about 'Floor Sample,' they tell me, 'I was with you all the way.'
embrace life people prosperous tools
The tools of 'The Prosperous Heart' help people to embrace the life that they actually have, where they often find that they already have 'enough.'
focused people
People get so focused on the big dream that they forget about the process.
breakdown divorce experience good hear people realize takes talk
In my experience, divorce takes you out for about 10 years, but you hear people talk about it lightly. The same with depression. You only have to have one good breakdown before you realize you need help. It's pretty frightening.
dream art people
Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.
art people soul
Making art is a rite of initiation. People change their souls.
everybody
I think everybody encounters difficulty. It's just more pitched in some people.
deck enticing house hung outside room
My new house has a deck that wraps around my writing room; my writing room has many windows, and outside the windows I've hung bird feeders... for enticing different species. So I imagine I will be writing about that.

My mother set us to an activity and let us be.
life creativity gestation-period
Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness.
art play imagination
Art is the imagination at play in the field of time. Let yourself play.
alter fluid money personal prosperity spend
I have a personal prosperity plan. I know where my money goes, and how I can spend it more fruitfully. A prosperity plan is something fluid that may alter month to month.
acted art call creative fall given grew knew might mother music parents stand though
I grew up in what you might call a relentlessly creative household. We were given art supplies, music supplies... Our mother knew enough to get us started and then stand back and not meddle. My parents never said to us, 'Don't you think you'll need something to fall back on?' They acted as though creativity was completely normal.
