Why The Artist’s Way is a Red Hot Read: Two words: Creative salvation. I bought my copy before I really needed it, but using Cameron’s techniques and wisdom has kept me from abandoning my writing more than once. Establishing a practice of writing morning pages has been one of the most powerful practices of my life. Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist, you can benefit from Cameron’s teachings. You’re more creative than you know.
