An exercise from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron:

Priorities
List for yourself your creative goals for the year, for the month, for the week.

Okay, Julia. I’ll do it.

This is by my desk at my office. Will it be inspiring or oppressive? We’ll see. But I like the idea of my creative goals being ever-visible and unforgettable, instead of closed up in a notebook.

While we’re on the topic of The Artist’s Way, this article in The Cut sums up how I feel about this book. “Everything about the book is mortifying, and it totally set me free,” writes Meaghan O’Connell. “Its ridiculousness is matched only by its effectiveness. Embrace it. Hide the book when you aren’t using it; read it when no one else is around. It’s fine.”
