I would most certainly call myself an artist. I get a lot of fulfillment out of creating, whether it’s music, graphic design, scrapbooking, decorating my house… you name it. But what a gal to do when the inspiration isn’t there?
I was recently given a trial membership to The Artist’s Way Toolkit, a website inspired by the book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. It's an online journal of sorts where each week you are tasked with activities to keep the creative juices flowing including a date with yourself to a location where you might find inspiration. I liked that each activity and journaling topic was geared to give you a pool of ideas to pull from in the future whenever you are in need of them.
I know that I am terrible at remembering to keep up with any kind of daily routine whatsoever (just look at my track record on keeping up with my blog on a regular basis if you need proof of that!), but I do like the idea of storing up ideas for the future when inspiration juices are flowing. I just don’t know that I personally would pay $4.99 for the privilege of storing my ideas there, mostly because I am so hit-or-miss on my daily commitments. But the overall idea is inspiring in itself.
