The Artist's Way - In Progress
Hi everyone! This spring, I'm giving Julia Cameron's classic creativity program, The Artist's Way, a proper go. It's a 12-week program designed to reconnect to your inner artist, build your confidence as an artist (whether that's writing, music, visual arts, etc.) and be more productive. I plan to start on Sunday, May 8. Join me for gentle accountability, occasional grousing, and (hopefully not infrequent) revelations about the artistic journey. All are welcome!
If you are just now finding this, folks have been starting on different weeks, so feel free to join the conversation in the overlap. [more inside]

Hope to see some of you there!
