Over the past few months, we've taken a deep dive into AI writing tools. Now we're coming up for air and trying to reconnect with our human creative souls. What better book for this than Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way?

Published over thirty years ago, Cameron's much beloved Creative Recovery Program is the reason why so many writers drag themselves out of bed for Morning Pages. This is a twelve week course, so buckle up - we're in it for the long haul. And it's not just a book for wannabe authors - this self-help tome promises to unleash the creativity of "potters, photographers, poets, screenwriters, dancers, novelists, actors, and directors." What's not to love?

Well, there's a catch: Cameron's book is veryspiritual, packed with calls to a higher power. We dive into Cameron's Great Creator, whether this book works if you're not particularly religious, and what we're hoping to get out of this whole endeavor - besides possibly talking to the universe.

Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
