Artist's Way Bookclub: A free 12-week creative unstuckening [May 25 - August 17]
Hosted by DELETE ME
Details
It happens. You get the vision down. You cultivate (at least most of) the skills necessary. You block out the time. And... And... And... Nothing. Instead... You are met with a terrible fate.
Some invisible thing is keeping you from just sitting down and doing the work. Writer's Block. Or my case photographer (... doing that weird 3d render glitch-art thing for the end of the semester project)'s Block.
So I figure what the hell... If you want to go far, go together, right? Let's make it a group thing.
Cool! So... right! Who is this for?:
This process is for everyone regardless of creative discipline or experience. The goal is to build momentum, at your creative art of choice.
And what the heck are we doing?:
The group will meet weekly and work our way through the 12-week process that is The Artist's Way: 30th Anniversary Edition (ISBN-10 : 9780143129257)
And then the all the logistics:
Attendance is not mandatory for every single session, but participation is expected... and kinda the whole point. So you'll need to find a way to keep up, if you miss.
For general rules, we'll follow the author's own suggestions here, unless something doesn't work for us:

Our first meeting will be just to get started. Nothing due. You'll need a copy of the book by then, and that's about it. I'm sure the original edition is fine too if you can get it for cheaper.
Other than that... I've got a couple bookmarks that this research turned up that might be interesting. Fair warning I've read very little of these, but what little I did see felt like it was squarely in the ballpark.

I'm pretty sure she just keeps going too.
Anway... That's about it.
Existential creative crisis averted completely.
That was close :)
See you soon.
