I must have felt a bit creative when i picked up this book because it is not the kind I normally look for in a book store I liked it so much I read it twice. Once I started reading however, I was hooked2009-01-26 Rating 4. I liked the fact that the Morning Pages was at the begining of the book, which I immediately started to practice. You do not know relief untill you write three pages of any and everything that is on your mind in the morning. I was worried that I would not stick to it but, I can say that I am now addicted and look forward to writing every morning. That is the immediate reason I was drawn back in.

After years of teaching writing classes Julia assembled her most effective study tips. One of these was the three page splurge. In this exersize the writer would spit out three pages of writing per day no matter what was in your mind. The purpose was to empty out the chatter from inside your head in order to pave the way for a focused voice. Finding that voice is tantamount to writing in a clear and pronounced way. Another asks the writer to create a timeline of their life in order to better understand where are they coming from and where they are heading. While looking back we witness the roots of our creativity which reveals our need to move forward. In addition to the exersizes are the quotes from prominent writers, all of which are aimed at bettering the artist's understanding of oneself. Our self-expression is our livelihood, our crafted words create worlds of wonder in which others bathe their imaginations. Julia's book helped me reinforce my identity and start to write with more authority. By 35 I had already penned seven books and I couldn't be happier with my progress.
