I read your post Amy late at night and felt immediately the urge to read this book. Now, sitting here on a rainy and very windy day, reading the words and can’t believe how it speaks to me. I love the idea of writing 3 morning pages.

I wrote until I became a mother by the age of 35. Now I am close to retire and my fingers tickle but I don’t know how to find my way back on paper and words. I started last year the weekly illustrations but before summer ended I stopped and since then I cannot go back to my routine. As you and Julia say ‘start now and don’t look back’. I guess I must learn to accept that a gap is not something to overcome. It just continues somehow.

I am living in Switzerland and would love to connect with all of you. Whether it will be on Substack chat, posting comments about the book or about our review about the book by chapters. Thank you for bringing this up. -Marion

Ohmygosh. I want to do this. I started a group to do the Artist's Way, but it never got off the ground. I also never read the book past the first week because I met with the same resistance even though she stated that it needn't be a religious thing.

I'm in a similar place in life. I have seemingly unending health issues cropping up that are both rare and incurable (not to mention frustrating). My husband is significantly older and wants to retire. I can't work, but haven't applied for disability. I don't know what I'll do without his medical insurance. Eek.

I've always been a writer and storyteller, but I've been stuck and blocked lately. I need to do something.
