Women’s History Month seems like the perfect time to begin my World-Changing Books by Women series. In March, I will share books by women I consider to be my creative ancestors. These books gave me the courage to access my creativity. I became a writer and an artist because of the books I will share this month.
The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron This book truly changed my world in 1994. I was working at the bookstore, wondering how to live my most creative life.
This book, with its in-depth exercises, gave me permission to identify and go for my writing dreams. It’s a guide to getting to know your true self, and I’ve recommended it thousands of times.
A recent re-read of The Artist’s Way showed me how many of my beliefs about creating and writing come from this book. This book is one of my creative ancestors, and I salute Julia Cameron. She’s written many more books, but this is the best one.
Did The Artist’s Way change your world?
