FIND SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOUR ABILITY TO CREATE

Creative people need at least one supportive person who believes in their ability to create. That person could be your parent, your spouse, your therapist, your friend … it really doesn’t matter, as long as they are there for you and believe in you. Their faith in your ability will make the stresses of the creative role easier to bear. You can’t make this kind of relationship happen, but you can nurture it when it comes along.

Even if you already have a supportive person who believes in your ability to create, you might benefit from reading The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. The Artist’s Way is a do-it-yourself guide for recovering from artist’s block. The twelve-week program to free your creativity includes mandatory stream-of-consciousness writing each morning and weekly self-nurturing “dates” with your inner creative child. Cameron claims, “I have seen blocked painters paint, broken poets speak in tongues, halt and lame and maimed writers racing through final drafts. I have come to not only believe but know: no matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.”
