Anyone doing the rest of the Artist's Way stuff?

Like the subject line says: is anyone doing more of the Artist's Way program than the 750 Words/morning pages? I took the book out of the library & finally, after numerous attempts over the years, managed to finish it. I've always been skeptical (for some of the reasons I mentioned here in my reading journal)... but by the time I picked the book up again I'd been doing 750 Words for a while. And it was definitely stirring something in my brain! So I was willing to give the rest of what Cameron says another shot.

I got all excited & did the first week of the program... about a month ago. And nothing since.

Just wondering if anyone else has done it or finds it useful: maybe 750 Words is the best thing to take away from it!

Yeah, I've never made it all the way through either. I usually manage about a month and then forget about it. (And I haven't even ever gotten to the 'no reading' week, which I think I would fall flat on.)

The other problem was that I could think of about two interesting Artist's Dates and then it was all 'go for a walk,' which I do normally for exercise anyway.

Oh, yes! The no reading week seems kind of terrifying. I'm sure it would do something to my brain & creativity, I just... don't know if I could do it: not even just willpower-wise; I do have to read things at work!

I had trouble thinking of ideas for Artist's Dates, too.

I keep wanting to give the program a try. I checked the book out of the library and flipped through it but I have a feeling I'd like to do it as part of a focus group or something in order to keep going.

Someone in create_my_comm posted a while ago looking for a comm of people doing the Artist's Way, I think, but I don't think anything happened with it. It would probably be more productive for me too.

It was that post that prompted me to create this Comm. But yeah, I still would like someone else to create the comm. I'd totally join it, I'm just not willing to Mod it.

Meeeeee too. I would join that comm as well, but no interest in modding it. :/
