It's Week 11 of The Artist's Way, and we're tackling the big themes: "recovering a sense of autonomy" and redefining "success" . This week felt like a "summer scrapbook" , teaching me that a successful creative life isn't a future goal, it's a present feeling. It’s the feeling of eating a "viral pasta salad" while watching the "sunset at the reservoir". This post is about how a rainy, cosy weekend taught me everything.

Hello, it's NotesOnDawn! Join me for a dreamy weekend at the end of Week 8 of The Artist's Way. We're talking "Recovering a Sense of Strength," and for me, that meant waking up at 4:30 AM for the sunrise, only to have a difficult but breakthrough-worthy encounter with my "8-year-old self". This post is about the real work: scrapbooking our past selves, cleaning our present spaces , and refuelling with incredible books.

Hello, it's NotesOnDawn! This post is a personal look at Weeks 2-3 of my Artist's Way journey. I thought I was just building habits, but my Morning Pages revealed a huge, unexpected blockade I have against manifesting my creative goals (like getting a publisher!). I’m sharing how I'm using Artist Dates to pottery classes and aquariums to learn how to 'receive' again.
