The Welsh Princes of Gwynned British Columbia's Beautiful Interior Indiana Jones Yankees. No more, no less. But in reality most of us find hindrances at every corner in our creative endeavors.
Responsibilities fill our days while doubts fill our nights.
In both of her books, The Artist's Way and Vein of Gold Julia Cameron guides us through the maze of overcoming these difficulties. Cameron firmly believes that one need not suffer to be creative and I believe at some level this must be true. Surely if we sort out our hang ups and reorganize our lives we will find that creativity will come more easily. But I suspect that most of us must be at a somewhat critical state to even find the impetus to work our way through the exercises in these books. We live in a culture that believes that creativity is something that can be forced by sheer determination.
