12-week creativity workshop, starting soon

[rejectionchallenge]

Mods, please delete this if it's inappropriate. I just wanted to see if anyone here was interested in restarting the 12-week creativity workshop based on Julia Cameron's classic The Artist's Way at the artistsway community. This workshop is being revived after a hiatus and will follow Cameron's program closely, but not exactly.

Posting will begin as soon as I find a copy of The Artist's Way, so between 1-2 weeks from now depending on whether I have to order one and wait for it to arrive. I live in kind of a bookstore desert. After that, we'll be posting updates at least weekly. There will be prompts and tasks, liberatory listmaking, Artist's Dates, painful but necessary affirmations, and lots more reminders to make time to write. If that sounds like something you might enjoy, or if you just want another place to talk about writing and other creative endeavors, let me know, or stop by artistsway.

Sorry again if this is the wrong kind of post for the community -- I'm happy to delete it myself if so, or to be deleted if that's quicker.

I've vaguely familiar with the book and the concept of morning pages, so this sounds slightly intimidating but also cool. I'd give it a try!

It can be intimidating for me, because a lot of the daily tasks are things like Talk About Yourself Being an Artist and Reassure Yourself That You Are Not A Failure, which I have ridiculously major hangups about. But the community will be zero-pressure; you can check in or not and there's no shame in skipping or modifying a task as it suits you.
