Summary
In addition to being a writer herself, Julia Cameron has enjoyed a second career as a mentor and conjurer of other people's creativity. THE ARTIST'S WAY has spawned many self-help groups and workshops, and inspired countless people to take up a more creative lifestyle. In the SOUND OF PAPER Cameron has addressed a very important aspect of creativity: getting started, especially when writer's block or self-doubt have taken root in the mind. In a brief series of nurturing, humorous essays, Cameron offers her hard-earned wisdom, and follows up each essay with a corresponding assignment or suggested activity. Cameron admonishes readers to establish a steady routine even if the ideas are not on tap, reasoning that the discipline of a daily or weekly regimen can help an artist get closer to creative goals and allow inspiration to eventually break through. Some of her suggestions are refreshingly basic and doable, like her advice on taking a 20-minute walk to get creative juices flowing and to utilize the wisdom of the body. While THE SOUND OF PAPER can be used as an adjunct to Cameron's other major books, it is also a delightful inspiration on its own.

The Hot Flash Club
by Nancy Thayer
From the bestselling author of Between Husbands and Friends and An Act of Love comes a wise, wonderful, and delightfully witty “coming of age” novel about four intrepid women who discover themselves as they were truly meant to be: passionate, alive, and ready to face the best years of their lives. Meet Faye, Marilyn, Alice, and Shirley. Four women with skills, smarts, and secrets–all feeling over the hill and out of the race. But in a moment of delicious serendipity, they meet and realize they share more than raging hormones and lost dreams. Now as the Hot Flash Club, where the topics of motherhood, sex, and men are discussed with double servings of chocolate cake, they vow to help each other . . . and themselves. Faye , the artist. A determinedly cheerful widow and connoisseur of control-top pantyhose, she’s struggling with creative block and an empty, lonely house. Now she’s got a tricky problem to bring to the club’s table: how can they catch her perfect son-in-law cheating on her only daughter Laura? Shirley , the healer. Though her yoga-slender body belie her years, decades of dating losers and the strain of being broke make her feel her age. Shirley has a secret dream: a wellness spa that nurtures body and soul. But first she needs to believe in herself, in her abilities, and in her friends at the club. Marilyn , the brain. A paleontologist who has spent so many years looking at dried-up fossils, she’s almost become one herself. Worried that her brilliant but nerdy son is about to marry the very wrong woman, she gets some help from the HFC, who transform her from a caterpillar to a butterfly, with amazing results. Alice , the executive. Black and regal, she soared to the top of the corporate ladder. Now her shoes are murder on her arthritic back and the younger jackals are circling in for the kill. But as the inspiration behind the HFC, she’s about to discover something extraordinary: contentment. For Faye, Shirley, Marilyn, and Alice, the time has come to use it or lose it–be it their bodies, their brains, their spirits, and their sense of fun. Together they realize that they can have it all, perhaps for the first time in their lives. And though what sags may never rise again, feeling sexy has no expiration date– and best of all, with a little help from her friends, a woman can always start over . . . and never, ever, give up what matters most.

The Sound Of Paper; Starting From Scratch
Cameron, Julia
Tarcher. As New in As New dust jacket 2004. Hardcover. Hardcover with dust jacket, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, remainder mark on the edge. ; 1.2 x 8.2 x 5.6 Inches; 336 pages; Best known as the coauthor of The Artist's Way, creativity guru Cameron now offers a series of personal essays and exercises about working through creative droughts. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging artist's blocks as a part of the creative process, but also "soldiering through" by continuing to show up "at the typewriter or the easel." In each essay, she invokes her own struggles to make time for creative work and avoid the traps set by the "inner censor." In "Getting at It," she writes that "[w]aiting for art to be easy, we make it hard. We take our emotional temperature and find ourselves below normal, lacking in resolve.... The truth is that getting at it makes it easier. Every day we write creates a habit of writing in us." In the exercise that follows, Cameron suggests that readers list five ways in which they have inched forward in a given day. Some pieces of advice are likely to resonate more with readers than others-and the author's straightforward message can seem one-note at times. But for novice artists looking for encouragement in an uninspired period, this volume could do the trick. . ( more information) Offered by kbooks (Canada)
