Micro-podcasting: The Artist’s Way
It’s interesting that I had chosen to podcast about Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way today. The book is probably the classic text for telling us as artists that our role in the creative process is showing up at the page no matter how hard we find it. Do that one small thing (does it every feel small?), Julia tells us, and the rest will take care of itself.
Well this morning, showing up at the page (or rather the iPhone, to record the micro-podcast) felt like a huge effort. It was a grey morning here in Wales, and my energy was particularly low. But show up I did and the podcast got made. That was all I did in the studio, but for today that was enough. One small thing is made and sent out into the world. Tomorrow I shall send out something else. How about you?

I'm Michael Nobbs, an artist, blogger and tea drinker (not necessarily in that order).
I'd like to show you that it is possible to stay creative even when energy is in short supply, and how working on small creative acts on a regular basis can build over time into a substantial body of work (and even a creative career).
I've written a book called Sustainable Creativity. You're welcome to pay whatever you would like for it.

My new book, Getting Your Important Work Done, is currently free for members to download.
