Three steps to creative writing

Walking in this worldTHE ARTISTS WAY -- Julia Cameron specifies three "Basic Tools" that she uses to improve creative writing. We are using elements of each step in the Media Writing course in Tipperary Institute.

  1. Streams of consciousness writing. Set your alarm clock to ring one half hour earlier than usual; get up and do three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing.
  2. Take yourself on an Artist's Date. You have to agree to buy yourself a treat each week.
  3. Take a weekly walk. Go far enough to place yourself into an "unthink" zone.
