"The Artist's Way Week 10"—Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection

Creative Space with Jennifer Logue

On this week’s episode of Creative Space, we’re diving into Chapter 10 of Julia Cameron’s seminal book on creativity, “The Artist’s Way.” The focus for this week is “Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection.”
There is so much to cover but there are two principles we’ll talk about: fame and competition.
One of my favorite quotes from this chapter: “The desire to be better than can choke off the simple desire to be. As artists we cannot afford this thinking. It leads us away from our own voices and choices and into a defensive game that centers outside of ourselves and our sphere of influence. It asks us to define our creativity in terms of someone else’s.”
