Summary: Wonderful companion book for The Artist's Way
Review: A great addition to The Artist's Way. This has suggestions for Artist's Dates, inspirational drawings by Julia Cameron's sister, a place to check your morning pages as done and a few lines to comment on whatever, the drawing on the page, what you did on your artist date. This is not meant to take the place of the morning pages but to complement the whole process. Worth the money.

Summary: disappointed
Review: I really like "The Artists Way" program, and struggle to incorporate it into my life. I thought this would be a daily calendar of suggestions and inspiration for incorporating the artist way philosophy into my daily life. Instead it focuses on the concept of the "Artist Date" in a cartoonish trivial way. I realize now that I should have been prepared for it not to be a calendar, but I found it very disappointing and not up to the quality I expected from having read the original book. I will try to return it to Amazon, something I rarely (if ever) do.

Summary: Wonderful companion book for The Artist's Way
Review: I was extremely disappointed by this book. I expected a book full of ideas about what to do for my artist's date which is described in The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. An example of a sample page in this book is Day 52. 1/3 of the page has a cute picture of a dog doing the hula. 9 lines for a person to write on. The bottom inch of the book says, "Cha Cha." There is also a check box that says morning pages done. The book does have cute cartoons and sayings. I think that if all of the content could fit in 10 typed pages. (except for the cartoons). Don't waste your money on this book.

Summary: Great gift or tool for followers of the Artists Way
Review: The Artist's Way : A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron has developed a devoted following among people searching for ways to develop, unblock, or discover their art. The keys to the success of this program are the Morning Pages, Artist's Dates, and the creative exercises outlined in the original book. This companion book provides a useful and fun way to monitor your progress and to keep on track.Elizabeth Cameron Evans (whom I suspect is Julia's daughter) playfully illustrates each page of the book with ideas for Artist Dates as well as a checkbox for the days Morning Pages and room for notes. As someone who has benefited greatly from Ms. Cameron's work, but has more than once 'fallen off the wagon', I find the Artist's Date Book to be an excellent, fun way to keep on track. Dave

Summary: amusing but unnecessary
Review: the content of this book was very different than what i expected. i was expecting a book full of ideas for the WEEKLY "artist's date," but what i got was a DAILY cartoon book, offering SOME artist's date ideas, but mostly just cute (albeit inspiring) cartoons that don't pertain to the concept of the artist's date. the fact that it was a "daily" book, instead of weekly, is inconsistent with the author's suggestion for the artist's date. upon first glance, i found it both confusing and disappointing. not worth the price.
