Often, the reverse is true. They need to play." Ultimately, the characters in this book show us how we can turn our procrastination into play and our play into great work. With this delightful volume, Julia Cameron once again hits the nail on the head on the subject of creativity.]]> Thu, 27 Oct 2005 23:52:15 +0300 The Sound of Paper https://classics.library.land/julia-cameron/55518-the_sound_of_paper.html https://classics.library.land/julia-cameron/55518-the_sound_of_paper.html The Sound of Paper
In this landmark book on the creative process, the bestselling author of The Artist's Way reveals the intricate soul work artists must undertake in order to find inspiration. In The Sound of Paper, Julia Cameron delves deep into the heart of the personal struggles that all artists face. What can we do when we face our keyboard or canvas with nothing but a cold emptiness? How can we begin to carve out our creation when our vision and drive are clouded by life's uncertainties? In other words, how can we begin the difficult work of being an artist? Drawing upon her many years of personal experience as both an artist and a teacher, Julia Cameron guides readers to a place where they can find the strength and courage to create. Demonstrating how this involves a process of constant renewal, of starting from the beginning, she writes, "When we are building a life from scratch, we must dig a little. We must be like that hen scratching the soil: 'What goodness is hidden here, just below the surface?' we must ask." With exercises designed to develop the power to infuse one's art with a deeply informed knowledge of the soul, this book is an essential artist's companion from one of the foremost authorities on the creative process. Julia Cameron's most illuminating book to date, The Sound of Paper provides readers with a spiritual path for creating the best work of their lives.]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2004 23:52:15 +0300 How to Avoid Making Art (or Anything Else You Enjoy) https://classics.library.land/julia-cameron/298054-how_to_avoid_making_art_or_anything_else_you_enjoy.html https://classics.library.land/julia-cameron/298054-how_to_avoid_making_art_or_anything_else_you_enjoy.html How to Avoid Making Art (or Anything Else You Enjoy)

From Booklist

Elizabeth Cameron's delightful line drawings of dogs in human attire serve as illustrations for creativity guru Julia Cameron's aphorisms about the things we do for the love of art. Cameron homes in on how our fear of creating art is rooted in the contrast between our pleasure in the process and dread of failure. And talk about creativity: Julia reminds us how creative we can be at finding reasons not to create. "Get your main sense of self-worth helping others instead of facing the blank page." "Tell yourself you can't afford art supplies, and buy five expensive cappuccinos while you discuss this with friends." And that all-time favorite: "Talk about it so you don't have to do it." Humor make points that would be less palatable if approached in a serious tone, and humor is the perfect vehicle for the no-nonsense stance of the writer best known for her groundbreaking The Artist's Way (1992). These captioned cartoons may become the next Far Side calendar for the artistic crowd. Whitney Scott
