Why do you think you have to write? What is the underlying psychological phenomenon there? And I find on days that I don't write, I feel a little bit lame. I have an appetite for the encouragement that comes to me through writing. So, do you love to write, Julia, or do you have to write?īoth. And her book magically appeared because of my wife. I'd never taken any kind of writing, schooling, or anything, and I had self-doubt that I could be an author. I read her book when I was writing my first book, and I was going through exactly what you described, which is I didn't have a PhD in English.

If you missed her prior episodes on Remarkable People, go listen to them after this one. If you've read The Artist's Way and are looking to continue your creative journey, or even if you are new to writing, this book is for you. Julia is the godmother of creativity and the bestselling author of more than forty books, as well as musicals and plays. And in it, Julia gives readers practical tools to start, pursue, and finish their writing projects. She calls this her love letter to writing and to writers. The reason I invited Julia back is because she has a new book, Write for Life: Creative Tools for Every Writer. I've never had a guest appear on my podcast three times, so this is a first. She's not making her first, or second, but third appearance on this podcast.
Helping me in this episode is the one and only Julia Cameron.
We're on a mission to make you remarkable. I'm Guy Kawasaki, and this is Remarkable People.
