Week 5: The Virtue Trap
Episode 7
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
What gives? We hate this book but love talking about it.Week 5 of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way returns to her insistence that belief in a Great Creator unlocks opportunities and success—which we're still not buying. But it does spark a conversation about self-belief: that unshakeable certainty successful artists have that their work matters and will be recognized. That conviction helps them treat setbacks as part of the process, not proof they're not good enough. Cameron also introduces the Virtue Trap, where we sabotage our own creative needs by being "too responsible"—though she offers zero advice for escaping it. We wrap up with her exercises and Cameron's very 1990s view of the world.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
