A 6-Week Artist’s Way Program Julia Cameron has been teaching the world about creativity since her seminal book, The Artist’s Way , first broke open the conversation around art. Now, in Write for Life , she turns to one of the subjects closest to her heart: the art and practice of writing. Over the course of six weeks, Cameron carefully guides readers step by step through the creative process. This latest guide in the Artist’s Way Series: - Introduces a new tool and expands on powerful tried and true methods. - Gently guides readers through many common creative issues ― from procrastinating and getting started, to dealing with doubt, deadlines, and “crazymakers.” - Will help you reach your goals, whether your project is a novel, poetry, screenplay, standup, or songwriting. With the learned experience of a lifetime of writing, Cameron gives readers practical tools to start, pursue, and finish their writing project. Write for Life is an essential read for writers who have completed The Artist’s Way and are looking to continue their creative journey or new writers who are just putting pen to paper. Review: excellent book for all who live to write - Julia writes about writing with an enthusiasm that will make you enthusiastic too. She is practical, authentic and inspiring. And she is a writer’s friend. If you need encouragement to keep writing, some new ideas or a breakthrough, read and apply this book. Review: Full of insperation and encouragement! - This is such a wonderful book for any writer. Full of insperation and encouragement. I would highly recommend!

Positive reviee
The book was great, for myself the only place where I had a problem was the continued focus on Morning Page's and yet I know for perhaps a new reader they Need to be stressed. I love anything that Julia Cameron has wrote. The Artist Way is where I can place my hands on it at any given moment with all of my beautiful highlights as I have read it so many times. I will be waiting for the next book

A great book to guide in writing
I have this author's other book (The Artist's Way) and have found it meaningful and helpful so I decided to buy this one and see how it could help me in my writing journey. I'm happy that I did because it helped me not be so hard on myself. It's made me relax a little more in writing my second novel. There is still a lot to do but it's a start. I'd definitely recommend to all writers of all genres. This book will guide through those times when you feel hesitant or unsure. Highly recommend.

Encouragement and practical strategies for writing
I was feeling blocked. Writing is more of a hobby for me than a profession, but even my hobby had been stunted by overwhelm. I was recommended Write For Life by a fellow writer working on a novel. With the combination of returning to the basics of The Artist's Way along with new assignments to spur me along, I've completed three essays (after a complete dry spell) and have new ways to approach the completion of work.

Self-Improvement as Writing Advice
Write for Life: Creative Tools for Every Writer by Julia Cameron works off the same principles as The Artist's Way. I opted not to do the exercises as prescribed because I do my own version of self-care to handle my writing life. I think this is the important thing to take away from this book. YOU have to find your own path. This was Cameron's path and she finds it satisfying. Yours might look very different. When I tried Morning Pages years ago when I read The Artist's Way, I found they stifled my creativity. I have a few problems with this book. The first is there is an underlying message throughout that if you don't do it Cameron's way, you can't be successful. Another is the underlying implication that everyone who has ever tried her method is successful. There's also her insistence that all successful creativity should be credited to a higher power and all failure is the fault of the artist. While Write For Life overall didn't work for me, I did find some interesting and inspiring nuggets and could see how it might work for other people.

Buch kam mit verschmiertem Cover an.
Inhaltlich bin ich mit dem Buch zufrieden. Ich kaufe oft gebrauchte Bücher, habe mich hier jedoch bewusst für ein neues entschieden. Enttäusche war ich darüber, dass der Einband/Vorderseite des Covers verschmiert war und sich dies auch nicht entfernen ließ. Sehr schade. Gerade wegen der Haptik kauft man doch Bücher!

Very similar to the Artist's way, but still great
I wouldn't necessarily recommend this if you've already done the artist's way — instead, if you *know* you're just wanting to write, choose this one instead of the original! Covers a lot of the same ground but with a particular focus on writing. Really great.
