JULIA HAS BEEN A WRITER FOR THIRTY YEARS. SHE WROTE THE ARTISTS WAY. AND SHE WROTE OTHER BESTSELLING BOOKS ABOUT CREATIVITY AND HOW IT NOURISHES YOUR SPIRITUALITY. SHE WROTE THAT SHE HAD GOD'S WILL WHICH SHE SAID WAS HOW SHE IS DRIVEN. HER KEY IS TO NURTURE YOURSELF AND YOUR CRAFT, WHICH ALLOWS IT TO GROW.
SHE SUGGESTS GETTING OUT OF WRITERS BLOCK BY WRITING THREE PAGES IN THE MORNING ABOUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - WHATEVER COMES TO MIND. THIS EXERCISE TRAINS YOUR INNER CRITIC TO STAND ASIDE SO YOU CAN WRITE EFFECTIVELY AND FREELY. SHE BELIEVES SHE IS A CONDUIT OF THE GREAT CREATOR. IF YOU WRITE WHAT WANTS TO BE WRITTEN YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE PASSION OF ENTHUSIASM TO HAVE YOUR WRITING MARKETABLE.
SHE BELIEVES WE ALL HAVE AN INNER GUIDANCE THAT MOVES US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. EARLY ON SHE HAD A BIG EGO. AS SHE MATURED SHE REALIZED THAT AS SHE MATURED SHE LOST THIS EGO. SHE NOW SHOWS HER WORK TO A CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WHO GIVE HER FEEDBACK. SHE BELIEVES IN THE SAYING "easy does it" and "one day at a time". SHE NOW DOES SMALL DOABLE THINGS AT A TIME VS. WORKING IN A PANIC. IMPERFECTION YIELDS FREEDOM AND KEEPS US FROM PANICKING. SHE SUGGESTS READING ERNEST HOLMES, FOUNDER OF SCIENCE OF MIND AND CREATIVE IDEAS. SHE HAS WRITTEN FOUR PRAYER BOOKS FOR ENCOURAGEMENT TO PEOPLE. SHE SAYS SOME OF HER BEST WRITING CAN BE DONE ON DAYS WHEN WE FEEL STIFLED. SHE RECOMMENDS HAVING A "BELIEVING MIRROR", OR SOMEONE WHO RECOMMENDS AND REFLECTS YOUR POSSIBILITIES. IT SOUNDS LIKE A COACH! THEY BRING YOU COURAGE TO MOVE FORWARD. HER WORDS OF WISDOM TO LEADING A CREATIVE LIFE IS TO WRITE MORNING PAGES, TAKE A WEEKLY ARTIST DATE, AND MAKE A HABIT OF WALKING, YOU WILL HAVE CREATIVE VISTAS.
SHE IS A POET, AN AUTHOR, PLAYWRIGHT AND FILMMAKER. SHE HAS WRITTEN A ROMANTIC NOVEL CALLED GOD'S WILL. AS A TEACHER SHE HAS TAUGHT EVERYWHERE. HER PRAYER BOOKS ARE ON OPTIMISM, AND ARE INSPIRATIONAL TO HER READERS. SHE HAS ALSO WRITTEN A SEQUEL TO THE ARTISTS WAY.
