Earlier this week my Amazon shipment arrived including The Right To Write: An Invitation and Initiation Into The Writing Life by Julia Cameron. I haven’t had a chance to delve deeply into the book, however I wanted to share an extract here since it follows on so nicely from this week’s Creative Concepts podcast.

Is there any benefit to identifying/labelling your own behaviour? I mean, on the one hand you could identify your personality traits and perhaps establish strategies to work inspite of those. But on the other hand there is an opportunity to explain or justify an inability to get things done. You can say “I would love to do that, but I’m a procrastinator.” And then there is this thing with “self-sabotage.” It is a remarkably common expression but how many people go around sabotaging themselves? The whole idea strikes me as quite curious indeed.
