The Artit's Way

Zusatztext “Without The Artist's Way ! there would have been no Eat! Pray! Love .” —Elizabeth Gilbert " The Artist's Way is not exclusively about writing—it is about discovering and developing the artist within! whether a painter! poet! screenwriter! or musician—but it is a lot about writing. If you have always wanted to pursue a creative dream! have always wanted to play and create with words or paints! this book will gently get you started and help you learn all kinds of paying-attention techniques; and that! after all! is what being an artist is all about. It's about learning to pay attention." —Anne Lamott "This is a book that addresses a delicate and complex subject. For those who will use it! it is a valuable tool to get in touch with their own creativity." —Martin Scorsese Informationen zum Autor Julia Cameron has been an active artist for four decades.

This secret of creativity has seeped over into odd nooks and crannies, out of closets, into bare sight.   Julia Cameron is my friend. We share the love of place—one of a writer’s primary tools.
