We don't often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing.

More quotes by Julia Cameron
Many of us believe that 'real artists' do not experience self-doubt. In truth, artists are people who have learned to live with doubt and do the work anyway.
Julia Cameron
Answered prayers are scary. They imply responsibility. You asked for it. Now that you've got it, what are you going to do? Why else the cautionary phrase Watch out for what you pray for you might just get it?
Julia Cameron
You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club.
Julia Cameron
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
Julia Cameron
Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.
Julia Cameron
I am due at the page.
Julia Cameron
All too often, it is audacity and not talent that moves an artist to center stage.
Julia Cameron
Artists love other artists. Shadow artists are gravitating to their rightful tribe but cannot yet claim their birthright. Very often audacity, not talent, makes one person an artist and another a shadow artist-hiding in the shadows, afraid to step out and expose the dream to the light, fearful that it will disintegrate to the touch.
Julia Cameron
If we are forever yearning for more time, we are forever discounting what is offered.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.
Julia Cameron
we should write because writing brings clarity and passion to the act of living. writing is sensual, experiential, grounding. we should write because writing is good for the soul. we should write because writing yields us a body of work, a felt path through the world we live in.
Julia Cameron
Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you think mystery, not mastery.
Julia Cameron
Our modern ideas of 'functioning' through things are really quite inhuman. We have this idea that no matter what is going on we still have to color between the lines, act normal.
Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
Julia Cameron
It is not the act of making art that is painful. It is the desire to make something and not acting on it that causes pain....A day when I don't write is less happy. This is not discipline. It is affection, enthusiasm, adventure-any number of other words besides discipline.
Julia Cameron
Our moods and insights are transitory. This current is a flow of grace moving us to our right livelihood, companions, destiny.
Julia Cameron
You do not need to work to become spiritual. You are spiritual you need only to remember that fact. Spirit is within you. God is within you. (67)
Julia Cameron
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)
Julia Cameron
Making art has taught me that the tiniest smidgen of progress is something to be cherished.
Julia Cameron
If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.
