Without <i>The Artist's Way</i>, there would have been no <i>Eat, Pray, Love</i>. <b> Elizabeth Gilbert</b> <i>The Artist's Way</i> is not exclusively about writing it is about discovering and developing the artist within, whether a painter, poet, screenwriter, or musician but it is a lot about writing. If you have always wanted to pursue a creative dream, have always wanted to play and create with words or paints, this book will gently get you started and help you learn all kinds of paying-attention techniques; and that, after all, is what being an artist is all about. It's about learning to pay attention. <b> Anne Lamott</b> This is a book that addresses a delicate and complex subject. For those who will use it, it is a valuable tool to get in touch with their own creativity. <b> Martin Scorsese</b>
