The Artist's Way: Week Seven

In this episode, which originally aired in radio format on September 1st, 2022, I reflect on Week 7 of The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron. For me, part of "discovering and recovering my creative self" has involved purchasing a pair of roller-skates! I talk about my first few forays on the skates, along with some key ideas from the Week 7 chapter of the A.W., including the notion of "getting something down" as opposed to "thinking something up" -- of being the instrument more than the author of our creative work -- as well as jealousy, perfectionism, and risk-taking. I also share some of my thoughts on an archival (1964) profile of Bob Dylan, which ran in this August 29th's issue of the New Yorker magazine.
