(Not Quite) Losing It

Get in losers! We’re preserving our own identities. We’re a community of creative women hanging (sometimes by a thread) onto the parts of ourselves that have more to do with creating than procreating. It’s impossible, but important.

    Episode 2.05 Week 4 of The Artist’s Way (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    In week 4, Julia asks us to take a 7 day reading deprivation as a vehicle for connecting more deeply with ourselves. Brynn refused on principal. Melissa couldn’t find her book but got right on board as soon as she realized it was deprivation week. Katie was so busy that she accidentally participated by virtue of not having any time to read. We all agree that Julia’s intention of getting us to quiet the noise is worth a try, but that in our current social era, our cell phones are the primary culp

    Episode 2.04 Week 3 of the Artist’s Way (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Are authors the most masochistic of all artists? Is serendipity God stepping in or are you just finally paying attention? At Katie’s funeral, which one of us will hype her as the undisputed queen of all hype-girls? We ask some big questions while checkin after week three. This week sparked some of the strongest pushback against Julia’s advice and we dig into how privilege plays a role in our ability to find success and simply create art. No, the universe does not make things fall into place just

    Episode 2.03 Week 2 of the Artist’s Way (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Week 2 inspired some hot takes, our first unanimous disagreement with Julia, and justification for finding the perfect teacup and chair for your life. We also recorded while one of us was getting texts from upstairs reporting the baby’s oxygen levels so is this our most organized episode ever? No. Did we breakdown the chapter, offer our recommendations for the worthwhile tasks, and do the dang thing? Yes, we did. We loved Julia’s advice to pay attention to the world around you. She argues that o

    Episode 2.02 Week 1 of the Artist’s Way (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    We made it through week one with only a single ER visit cutting into those morning pages. We made some important discoveries. The size of the notebook really helps getting through all three of those morning pages. Childfree artist dates are about as likely as a winning lottery ticket, but if you and your kid build Lego space cats together, it is both a parenting and creative win. It’s better to read the week’s activity on Day 1 instead of Day 6 in case there was something you were supposed to be

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    How excited are we to be starting on The Artist’s Way path with y’all? SO EXCITED. Will we do it perfectly? No. Will we write morning pages first thing in the morning literally every day? Almost certainly not. Will we lower the bar so we can clear it? You know we will. And we’re dragging you along with us. Whether you are determined to follow AW to the letter or just want to see what you can pick up by osmosis from our journey through it, you are so welcome. We’ve found a platform that is a litt
