The Creative Spiral (The Artists's Way)

In her book 'The Artist's Way', Julia Cameron talks about the 'creative spiral' in which we may return to a task with new tools and inspiration.  Living is a constant act of creation and re-creation:  we circle some of the same issues over and over, each time at a different level.  Like climbing a mountain, the important thing is not to head straight for the top, but to set off along the best path.  She also talks about the dangers of 'perfectionism' which can be used as an excuse for procrastination. Perfectionism is not really aobut getting things right.  We may like to think that we have high standards, but really we are putting off the day when we have to move on.  A work of art - a painting or a book - is never really finished, but after a certain point you must let it be.
'Life Script' is currently in it third chrysallis incarnation.  My original book was a fairly academic little monograph on myth and archetype.  A wonderful woman called Wendy Lazear pointed out to me how it could be turned into something much more.  The second version was much more practical, but still read rather like a text book.  I had to take three months away from it before I could see the changes that needed to be made. A few days after I had made the decision to revise again, I got a letter from a trusted source telling me exactly the same thing.  Synchronicity in action!  So now, it is being restructured and polished to make it more accessible: a handbook for living, which was what I had always wanted to write.
So this will be the final version. Good luck with your own artistic journey.  And I hope you like my book!
