## Who Are You?

Julia Cameron, writer, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

## What Do You Write?

I write many things — books on creativity, plays, poetry and even musicals. I teach creative unblocking, and my teaching keeps me unblocked. To date, I have written over 40 books, averaging about a book a year.

## Where Do You Write?

I generally write in my living room on a loveseat that stares out at the mountains. I like to write using a uniball 207 pen, which is fast-writing and bold. I write my books by hand using lined journals.

## When Do You Write?

I generally write two times a day: early in the morning and early in the evening. I average about three pages per session, but I’m not rigid. I begin where and how I am and end when a passage feels done.

## Why Do You Write?

I write because it is my nature to write. I have an appetite for words. On the days — rare — when I don’t write, I am restless, irritable and discontent. I believe that for me, writing is a spiritual path.

## How Do You Overcome Writer’s Block?

I have a daily technique of writing Morning Pages — three pages of longhand morning writing about anything and everything. These pages help to dismantle perfectionism, which is, I believe, the primary writer’s block.

## Bonus: What Do You Enjoy Doing When Not Writing?

I live in the mountains and I greatly enjoy walking on the many trails with my little dog Lily.
