Here's my take. Timing and praise, I think, are connected via the common thread of awareness + building inner trust. Once you are paying attention and offer praise or marvel in what you've noticed, you'll also start noticing more synchronicities...and then offering praise for those. The increased awareness helps you trust your intuition/inner self. As writers, I think that self trust helps us move forward with our our ideas, stories, hitting publish, all the things.
Tomorrow, I'm sharing one of my stories inspired by morning pages -- and posting it is inspired by following along on your reading adventure. So thanks for that!
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective on this, I think you're right on. I wish Cameron got into this aspect of it a little more in her book, versus describing what her friends are wearing when she interviews them... it would certainly help connect the ideas between her books in a more coherent way. Really enjoyed your post about morning pages!

I'm kind of interested in re-reading all of her books and reading her newer ones because I'm starting to wonder if she's repackaging The Artist's Way!
i really enjoy your honest review. I have never "done" artist's way, though I kinda follow the discourse. Thanks for this!
It's worth dipping into, I think, although I feel Cameron lacks some nuance when it comes to what allows an artist time/space to create.
