I've been going on something called an "Artist Date": a solo outing, once a week with your "Inner Artist," to something that feeds you creatively.

The idea comes from Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, a book that's been sitting on my shelf for a year. I finally decided to go through with it.

A few links I mentioned, all in one place:

• The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron (get the hard copy) »
• Blackwing video by The Wall St. Journal (great storytelling) »
• Blackwing's site (you can't get these on Amazon) »
• Doug's Comic, Wait it Gets Worse »
• Lauren's site, laurendaviscreative.com »
• Rich Relationships: Create a Million-Dollar Network for Your Business by Selena Soo »
