The Artist's Journey: The Wake of the Hero's Journey and the Lifelong Pursuit of Meaning
HOW DO YOU KNOW? * * * The answer is: You decide. You decide, and you prove your decision by action.
A great adventure awaits you. Ready or not, you are called.
The artist is a role ordained by Creation. Even
Flesh-and-blood individuals will enter your life at precisely the time and place you need them.
WHO YOU ARE IS WHAT YOU WRITE
The artist discovers herself by the work she produces.
That the mysterious "flow" of creativity can be primed like a pump by physically (and emotionally) planting yourself in the physical space where you want that energy to flow.
THE CREATIVE HABIT * * * I begin each day of my life with a ritual. This is the renowned choreographer Twyla Tharp from her indispensable book, The Creative Habit.
Do you want to write? Sit down at the keyboard. Wanna paint? Stand before an easel. Wanna dance? Get your butt into the studio. Want the goddess to show up for you? Show up for her.
