On The Guest: Today I’m honored to say that for the third year in a row Unleash is having on the ironic author of the Artists’ way and prolific creative, Julia Cameron. Julia is an artist, teacher, poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, journalist, and music composer. She’s best known for writing The Artist’s Way which has sold millions of copies, has been translated into 40 different languages and gave her the title “The Queen of Change” for starting a movement that brought creativity into mainstream conversation. Without the Artist’s way, there would be no Unleash. Her brand new book is called: Write for Life and it’s a love letter and guidebook for writers and aspiring writers.
From our Conversation, you’ll learn:
How to have gratitude for the gift of your creativity
Who she pictures when she writes
What a longterm creative partnership takes
How she would personify writing
How to maintain flexibility and consistency
Why setting a daily quota works
The Power of the morning pages and why she’s STILL religious to them
Why the Morning Pages ARE real writing
Why all good writers are authentic and what that means in practice
How to not shame yourself
Why it’s important to not shy away from your first thoughts
How to talk to the inner critic
Why you can’t get rid of the inner critic
How to Blast Through Creative Blocks
The three most important questions to ask yourself when you’re creating
The difference between honesty and authenticity
Why simplicity is a good thing
Why repetition is necessary
Why having fun can actually be difficult for people
Why creativity Can come from joy
Why it’s important to share and spotlight other creatives
Why bribing yourself is important
The desire to be original vs. authentic
How to know when something is “finished”
