For a long time I've wanted to repeat Julia Cameron's 12-week course The Artist's Way, and this entry on Ellen's blog has inspired me to set up a discussion group for fiber artists doing the course (or just reading the book - but the rewards are really astounding if you actually do it). The last time I did it, it was with a group that met weekly, and I found that going through it with other people inspired me and also kept me with the sometimes challenging work, since I was accountable to a group. I've wanted to start another group for a while, but I think an online discussion group could work just as well, and also include more people.
My idea for the e-mail list is that people can post their weekly check-ins, and also have discussions about all manner of related things, including how the course relates to us as fiber artists.

count me in. i have time on my hands right now while recovering and i think something like this would be really good for me. i've had the artists way forever and have never managed to focus enough. now that i have a month of free time i should have no excuses. i'm also hoping to get back into painting and bead embroidery and need to get over my previous notions that i can only do one thing at a time. :)
