![]() ![]() ![]() My puppy, Violet, is 20 weeks old, so I have her in a crate at night, and the first thing I do is slip on my slippers and let her out. “I’ve had some productions, but I’m hungry for more.” The Cut spoke with Cameron, who lives in the mountains above Santa Fe (“at about 7,800 feet”) with her Westie puppy, Violet May, about quieting one’s inner critic, laughing at rejection, and, of course, the importance of sticking with your Morning Pages. “I’ve written a lot of plays, and they’re notoriously hard to place,” she says. A lifelong creative, she remains in hot pursuit of her next endeavor. The seminal work is beloved by BookTok and Bella Hadid alike, and now Cameron’s back on the creative scene with Write for Life, a six-week Artist’s Way program designed specifically to help writers cultivate their craft and finish whatever it is they’ve been procrastinating on, be it a novel or screenplay.Īt 74, Cameron has enjoyed a prolific writing career, authoring memoirs, short stories, screenplays, musicals, and more. In 1992, the author and teacher published The Artist’s Way, a self-help workbook that guides readers in unblocking their innate creativity, most notably through “Morning Pages,” three stream-of-consciousness journal pages that, when done daily, allow your artistic self to flourish. Julia Cameron is the queen of morning routines - both her own and probably yours or someone you know’s, too.

Thanks to the event, Lovander controlled a pot of more than $20,000. ![]() They sold 484 tickets, according to a front-page West Central Tribune story about the chapter’s first banquet held in April 1983. Friends, including Lee Wierschem, went to work selling tickets, unsure of their prospects. Lovander committed the upfront money for a minimum of 200 meals at the Kandi Entertainment Center in Willmar. Kandiyohi County’s founding members were soon to do much more. “I do my own August (roadside) counts,” Lovander said he responded. “Do you hunt pheasants a lot,” Anderson said he asked Lovander. He responded to Lovander’s phone call with some caution. Anderson was lured to one caller’s “fundraiser” only to find a few guys gathered around a case of beer in a small house, he said. Others had already called him with all kinds of big offers. “I was getting a lot of calls from crack people,” said Anderson, explaining he had initially answered Lovander’s call with some skepticism. His group would be the first outstate chapter. Lovander, known to many as “the governor,” had originally answered Anderson’s call by telephoning him to say he was putting together a group in Kandiyohi County. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite clashes over their shared body, both girls are eager to join the rebellion.
