and your muse is dying to spend time with you!
Pick any relationship—the one you have with your partner, the one you have with a family member, friend, or work acquaintance—and you’ll agree that they all have one thing in common: they require the three Cs: communication, commitment and cooperation. The relationship you have with your muse is no different. You cannot relinquish it to a corner of your mind, and expect your creative life to magically evolve. So this week, today, this Friday, devote some time, some solo time just hanging out, playing, having fun with the child within. Author and creativity maven, Julia Cameron, calls it an artist date. Don’t make this difficult; don’t overthink it. Visit a bookstore, a gallery, a winery, any place your senses can be heightened. Your ego will throw up all sorts of reasons why you should blow off this activity. Do it anyway; then come back here, leave a comment and tell us about your artist date.
