Do you know that Papa’s Culture song in which a woman with a French-tinged accent says something about “raindrops pattering on banana leaves”? As soon as I hear rain, that’s what I want as accompaniment. As for The Artist’s Way, I have never attempted it because I know that I need the accountability of a group to complete it.
I don't think I know that song, but I will look it up. Such a great description and image. People are still joining our Artist's Way group if you're keen. There are 6 more weeks to go. I'll send you more info. xoxo
I feel like this is my sign that I really need to get round to reading/working through The Artist's Way!
Love the idea of the artist date - I try to find time to do things alone but have never called it this, I guess that quite often those activities are a good way to let ideas flow and ruminate!
I think you'd really enjoy it, Jess. If you check out Ali's Substack, there's info on how to join. We're six weeks in, so already past the first 6 chapters, but you're a fast reader :) so you could probably catch up.
I did not know Bill Withers had a stutter! I agree with everything you said about The Artist's Way. I love that you baked for one of your dates. Send me a cookie!

The song is Sometimes and it is so, so great! https://bit.ly/3Z4k2Li

oh, that's kind! Thank you for the information - I'll have a look but I'm not sure I could make it work at the moment!
Always treasure your insights. Thanks for making us better people!
You’re the best. Big love and hugs to you, Heather. ❤️
Did you know that Patrick teaches classes on The Artist's Way. Has for years. Fun. And, as always, engaging writing. Thanks!
Yes! Love that. I attended one of his intros on Zoom once. Clearly, it is working for you both. :) Thanks for reading and commenting. ❤️

Thanks, Stephanie! Bill Withers was a real inspiration. I'll happily send cookies. :) Or if you come to the meet-up in LA, I'll bring you one.
I wish I can go! It's also the same day as my other writing group meetup!
