Julia Cameron Needs Quotations

We don't often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing.

You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.

My will for you is not harsh or unpleasant. It is gentle and perfectly tailored to your unique needs. Do not fear my direction. I am your heart's happiest guide.

The fear of not being good enough. The fear of not finishing. The fear of failure and of success. The fear of beginning at all.
