QUOTE: Learning to Walk
Written by Rebecca Reid29 Sep
Remember, your artist is a child. Find and protect that child. Learning to let yourself create is like learning to walk. The artist child must begin by crawling. … Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one.
Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way, page 29-30

What a great site! Julie Cameron does have a lot of great tips and advice.
A couple of my friends who took creative writing classes tell me that there is only so much you can learn from a book. The only two things you need are 1. Content (good or bad) and 2. reviewers. But I always need tips an tricks to get to the content part as it is. =)
Good luck with your writing!
Nari, yes, it’s true: you can’t really learn to write by reading a book! I’m going to get back it in it at some point. Thanks for the encouragement.
