I'm afraid this past week did me in.....I didn't want  wasn't able to comply with the reading deprivation required in Ch. 4. 
I think what bothered me most was reading in that chapter, "If you feel stuck in your life or in your art, few jump starts are more effective than a week of reading deprivation."

While I can certainly understand the purpose of this, I also know I'm not in a "stuck" mode in either my life or my art.  Therefore, I wasn't able to agree with it for me.

I've been writing a chapter a day on my current manuscript.  I've also been writing my articles for the newspaper and I'm afraid that in addition to the many other things I'm involved in, I've not been as dedicated as I should be with The Artist Way.  The timing to do this process for me right now just isn't right.

I think it's a wonderfully written book and I think Kat has done an incredible job as facilitator.  I'm leaving this coming week for a writer's conference and I know I won't have the time to continue on with the reading and all that's required to do The Artist Way properly.

So I am going to bid everyone farewell.  I wish each and every one of you volumes of creativity as you complete your path with The Artist Way.  "To everything there is a season...."  My season for doing this process doesn't happen to be at the present time. 

This will be my final posting in this category.  Thank you to all of you that have crossed my path....I've enjoyed your company. 

See you tomorrow for my regular blog........
