Julia Cameron Revisits 'The Artist's Way' in New Book and Podcast Episode
In a re-aired episode of the Artnet News podcast, Ben Davis interviews Julia Cameron, author of the seminal 1992 book 'The Artist's Way.' The book, which began as notes for a class on creative self-discovery or 'creative recovery,' has sold millions and spawned groups worldwide. Its 12-week program includes rituals like 'Morning Pages'—three pages of unedited morning writing—adopted by many artists. Cameron's new book, 'The Daily Artist's Way,' offers a fresh approach. Davis himself has practiced Morning Pages for six months since preparing for the interview.
