A special 75-minute online conversation exploring creativity, daily practice and how to move through the blocks that keep us stuck.

What might happen if, instead of waiting for inspiration to arrive, we made creativity part of our everyday lives?

For more than three decades, Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way has transformed the way millions of people think about creativity. Her practices - including the now-famous Morning Pages - have helped people around the world reconnect with their creative lives, move beyond self-doubt and listen more deeply to themselves.

Now, Julia returns to the heart of creative practice with The Daily Artist's Way: an invitation to begin again, every single day.

Featuring 366 daily quotations, minute meditations and journal prompts, the book offers a year-long companion for anyone seeking greater creativity, meaning and direction. Each day becomes an opportunity to pause, listen inwardly and discover what wants to emerge.

In this special online event, Julia will be joined by her long-time editor Joel Fotinos, publisher of the Macmillan imprint St. Martin's Essentials, for an intimate conversation about what it means to live creatively.

Together, they'll explore how small daily practices can create profound changes over time, how we can learn to trust our creative impulses, and why creativity isn't reserved for people who call themselves artists - it belongs to us all.

And what happens when we get stuck?

Julia will also offer a special preview of her forthcoming book, Blasting Through Blocks, ahead of its publication in November.

Even with the best intentions, the creative path is rarely straightforward. We procrastinate. We doubt ourselves. Perfectionism takes over. Inspiration disappears. We compare ourselves with others or convince ourselves that we simply don't have the time.

In Blasting Through Blocks, Julia identifies 52 common pressure points that can interrupt the creative process and offers practical ways of approaching them differently.

Drawing on a lifetime of creative practice, Julia will explore how we can recognise what is keeping us stuck, shift our perspective, rebuild creative momentum and develop habits that allow our work—and ourselves—to move forward again.

Whether you've followed The Artist's Way for decades, have recently discovered Morning Pages, or simply feel there is a creative part of you waiting for more attention, this hour is an invitation to reconnect with your inner artist.
