The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to the Artist's Way

This is a review I first wrote in 2001 when I was under my former name! I was sceptical about another 'how to' system of creative writing. But I am housebound & wanted something to stimulate me, inspire me and this book, together with The Artist's Way: A Course in Discovering and Recovering Your Creative Self (the instruction book to this, the Companion Volume or exercise book) has reawakened my writing voice. It is not diary writing. That is usually done at the end of a busy day - so easy to choose sleep in preference to writing. The Artist's Way: Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to "the Artist's Way" are where you start the day by offloading worries, celebrating joys, pondering problems, writing a load of rubbish - or it would be to another reader but they are not going to see it so that doesn't matter. You are simply writing to yourself, for yourself. The Journal is a beautiful book in itself, but not so ornate you feel writing in it would spoil the volume. I thoroughly enjoyed using it and will continue the system in exercise books of my own choice. One day I will buy another of these as a refresher course - perhaps when I need a further boost of Julia Cameron's personal and stimulating advice. I recommend The Artist's Way: Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to "the Artist's Way" as a present to your Creative Self.

I do a lot of writing and this Morning Pages Journal is a delight to use - inspiring quotes on each page but still lots of space for my own writing - has really helped to consolidate the work of the 'Artists Way' which has been life-changing

great bought for friend. she loves it. lots of space A5 size would be less daunting...great inspiration & exercises to get to grips with,

I have over six of these morning pages journals. The paper stock is nice and thick. My pen's ink does not bleed over onto the opposite side. The journal is letter sized (8.5 x 11 inches) which is the perfect size, the goldylock's of journal sizes, to record my morning pages. Each page has neat lines to write in and a quote from Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way book. It is set up for 12 weeks (seven days with three pages for each day) with an introduction to each week to keep me inspired and motivated. Even though it's been several years since I read the original Artist's Way, I still believe in morning pages and this is the only journal I write them in.

Cost is very high. It's just like an empty journal.

It was great to learn to journal with. A great first journal when following the book. The length, the pages, the inspiration. But after I figured out the time it took to complete my morning pages I went on to purchase other journals.

Inspirierende Zitate aus dem Buch, ein grosszügiges Format und eine gute Papierqualität machen dieses Arbeitsbuch zu einem wertvollen Begleiter auf dem Weg des Künstlers

Excelente workbook para complementar con el libro. La presentación es muy bonita. Las páginas tiene frases del libro original.
