Supplies: A Pilot's Guide to Creative Flight
14 May 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is required reading for anyone who has used Julia's former books to actually create works of art! In this manual for creative flight she describes all the monsters that leap up in your face as you prepare to fly and the ones that try to wreck your creative projects. She speaks in a no nonsense, humor-filled tone--She cuts to the bone about those devils who tempt us to flirt with them instead of concentrating on our creative careers. Not only does she break them down into horrifying, simple catagories, but she teaches us how we can wave a magic wand and dispell the curse of these people. This book is a true gem for any creative artist. Buy it immediately.

Cameron's other titles are more useful to you as a writer
24 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Julia Cameron's books are the only companions that keep me from feeling stuck and isolated in a writer's life. "The Artist's Way" and "The Sound of Paper" are fixtures on my bedside table because she's truthful, sensible, and uplifting. ...And that's why I'm disappointed in this book. It falls very short of the mark.
True, in its pages you will recognize all those people who hem you in or hold you up. But you will perhaps also recognize what I did: deep bitterness. I'm 3/4 through the book and have been almost stunned at all the examples of, asides about, and ungloved swipes at movie industry people. Other blocking personalities are treated with a bit of remove and wry humor. But when JC launches on the movie-industry-specific examples, her venom and bitterness seep through. That flaw discredits whatever [thin] usefulness I might previously have found. I hate to say this, but I'm glad I bought it used rather than new.
