Really seems to help transition into a creative burst. Natalie goes through phases, and I like when she picks up this particular book. Really seems to help transition into a creative burst.

That's a great idea. If you start one in Tampa, I'd attend when I'm in town. Maybe I could start one in the ATL too - then you guys could visit... I’d totally enjoy a coffee house artist group.

I read it ten years ago, and am now reading it again. You've inspired me to get out my sketch pad and canvas! I agree with you, surrealmuse, that “The Artist’s Way” must come at the right time.

One of my girlfriends back home used to run one, and I've even given it some thought to start one here locally in Tampa.

I will swing by a book store and take a peek...see what my intuition tells me. Thanks. Perhaps it is just that sort of challenge that I am craving?

It's a mixture of soft pastels with photoshop. As for the Artist's Way, it's a wonderful book, but it has to come to you at the right time and place. If potentially, you are seeking a break through in creativity, it might do you some good because it challenges us in ways that many books never do. Thanks for the compliment on my illustration.

I like the 3 pages a day idea. I have warded off reading The Artist's Way because I thought it was more like a "how to" book, but perhaps it'd be worth a read. I haven't really thought of writing as a way to unjumble my intuition, but it seems like it would. Wow, the work is esquisite and your musing on the topic is inspiring. I like the 3 pages a day idea.
