As I mentioned before, I used this book several years ago to come back to making art. I do like a structured program (in case you are wondering, I attended your NaNoWriMo class and really appreciated the permission you gave to start small!) This time around I am trying to figure out my next step in growing my art practice, giving myself time and space within a busy schedule. Last week, the section on criticism helped me identify why I was not working with some unfinished pieces. It was the criticism/feedback that had been given that had changed it into something I no longer want to pursue. So I decided to let those pieces go. I will use the bits of the Artists Way that are helpful to guide this process. For Week 4, I am choosing only Task 4 to think about. The quote that resonated with me is "If you want to work on your art, work on your life."
Thanks so much for sharing, Aimee! That's a great quote. I, too, am finding morning pages useful in clarifying my thoughts and sifting through why I'm doing what I'm doing :)
