Description: "Drawing on her many years of personal experience as both an artist and a teacher, in this book Julia Cameron uncovers the difficult soul work that artists must do to find inspiration. Demonstrating how this involves a process of constant renewal, of starting from the beginning, she writes, "When we are building a life from scratch, we must dig a little. We must be like that hen scratching the soil: 'What goodness is hidden here, just below the surface? ' we must ask."" "With personal essays accompanied by exercises designed to develop the power to infuse one's art with a deeply informed knowledge of the soul, this book is an artist's companion. The Sound of Paper provides readers with a spiritual path for creating the best work of their lives."--BOOK JACKET.
