Barbara L.B. Storey

I all-but finished this book by the end of 2012, but I'm going back (along with a group of other creatives) and working my way through the book again, taking a month to do each "week" in the book.

I would have to say that, like so many other people, Artist's Way changed my life. Except for a month or so of falling off the wagon, I've been doing Morning pages since last May, and working through the exercises has helped me start writing regularly and thinking of myself as an artist, truly an artist, for the first time in my life.

I'm not always comfortable with her emphasis on spirituality, but I see its uses to look at creativity as our own personal divinity, so I adapt it to my own lack of belief. Regardless, I know that this book, and her other workbooks for discovering and nurturing your creativity, will be a part of my life from here on in. Indispensable.
