Julia Cameron’s Write For Life: Writing and (A Little Bit Of) Picture-Making taught by Tara Tieso
October 27, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Multi-Session Class
Meets 6 Fridays October 27-December 1 from 10am-12pm Central TimeVIRTUAL CLASS
Julia Cameron has been teaching the world about creativity since her crazy-popular book, The Artist’s Way first broke open every assumption about what it means to be creative and showed us how everyone can live into their inner artist.
Now, in Write for Life, she turns to the art and practice of writing – a 6 week exploration of how writing stirs our creativity, how images naturally arise from it, and how these visual inspirations then enhance our future writing!
The book introduces a new tool, and expands on powerful tried and true methods; Cameron gently guides us through many common creative issues ― from procrastinating and getting started, to dealing with doubt, and how to know when our creative work is ‘done’.
Whether your primary creative pursuit is writing, visual art, a mix of the two, or something entirely different, you’ll leave class with a fresh way to look at your creativity, and lots of creative ideas to keep you inspired!

– a sketchbook or journal of medium to small size, any kind of paper, but with sewn, perfect, or tape binding (no wire bound books!)
