The Artist's Way

Even at the safe remove of the written word, I can feel the
shock waves of antagonism about trying this tool. I will tell
you that those who have most resisted it have come back the
most smugly rewarded for having done it. The nasty bottom
line is this: sooner or later, if you are not reading, you will
run out of work and be forced to play. You’ll light some
incense or put on an old jazz record or paint a shelf
turquoise, and then you will feel not just better but actually a
little excited.
Don’t read. If you can’t think of anything else to do, cha-
cha.
(Yes, you can read and do this week’s tasks.)
