The Artist’s Way and a giveaway!

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 10:11:33 GMT

Reading The Artist’s Way just now (after hearing about it on making it up), faithfully doing my morning pages, 3 pages of early morning scrawlings, uncensored beautiful brain drain, and recovering my creativity, dealing with my blurts of negativity and realising where they originated… very powerful stuff :)

I have experienced these sorts of connections through art before – dancing and writing. When writing a teen novel about ballet it naturally morphed into a piece on anorexia, pinpointing causal moments and situations in a totally new way for me, like joining up the dots. It is healing. The process was possibly helped along by doing a lot of ballet and watching Pineapple Dance Studios, bringing back more memories. I used to take the odd class there and I attended dance college with the gorgeous Louie Spence

Anyway, to move on from my own personal artistic fun to yours! We are giving away a book. Any book we have ever mentioned on the blog, or on our book page, fiction page, or kids books sections – home education page, aspies and byothermeans included too. Of course it does not have to be about creativity – you can have the Artist’s Way if you like but if you’d rather have a parenting title, a cookbook, a kids storybook, a novel, a gardening guide… choose away. The competition is open to everyone, I will not be judging it but will read the entries to the rest of the family, not telling them the names of the entrants. This means real life friends need not feel they shouldn’t enter and people who have never commented before are equally as welcome and likely to win.

SO, just comment on this post saying what book you would like and maybe why? Link to the blog post or page where it can be found (don’t worry if you don’t know how to do this, I’ll add it for you). Tell us a little bit to grab our attention – why is this book what you need or want? Did you like that post where we mentioned it? Do you just want a nice late summer read? Need something to put under that wobbly table leg? Anything goes Be creative Competition closes at noon on Sunday 15th August, a winner will be chosen and informed shortly after, and I will procure the book for them from Amazon

Cat has a wonderful new website: The Tasty Herbalist - go see

Strange day today where a slight disaster led to us doing totally unintended things such as visiting the Wallace and Gromit exhibition at Satrosphere. It was very good, also being about other animation and techniques etc.
