In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
Julia Cameron
Image
We need to bridge our sense of loneliness and disconnection with a sense of community and continuity even if we must manufacture it from our time on the Web and our use of calling cards to connect long distance. We must “log on” somewhere, and if it is only in cyberspace, that is still far better than nowhere at all. (264)

Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.
Julia Cameron

The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist. The need to produce a great work of art makes it hard to produce any art at all. . . Fear is what blocks an artist. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of not finishing. The fear of failure and of success. The fear of beginning at all.

When you feel yourself to be in critical condition, you must treat yourself as gently as you would a sick friend.

You are either losing your mind -- or gaining your soul.

God does not give us more than we can handle, I am told but I wonder if God doesn't overestimate me just a little. Or perhaps, and this is likely, I underestimate God.
