Okay, I think I've attempted to do this twice, unsuccessfully. But after having lunch with a creatively inspiring friend, I'm eager to try once again. There's this book called The Artist's Way : A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan , that many creatively inspiring folks I've met swear by. The one common downside though is that it's hard to stick to. It's supposedly 12 week (hehe, 12 step, kuno) program that basically helps you unleash your creativity and channel it to something productive. Which is exactly what I've had a struggle with since the last time I was in a creative writing class. This is Amazon's description:

With the basic principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan lead you through a comprehensive twelve-week program to recover your creativity from a variety of blocks, including limiting beliefs, fear, self-sabotage, jealousy, guilt, addictions, and other inhibiting forces, replacing them with artistic confidence and productivity. This book links creativity to spirituality by showing how to connect with the creative energies of the universe, and has, in the four years since its publication, spawned a remarkable number of support groups for artists dedicated to practicing the exercises it contains.

Why am I telling you? Coz I want you to join me! A little online support helps, no? Let me know if you're interested...and order the book!
