I thought. Then I felt and cried tears of triumph.
Jan Phillips took me on a journey I had never been. I had sensed this part of my inner being, but stayed out, afraid of the power I may find. Then my eyes got wider and wider as I turned each page and suddenly, without being conscious of my change, I trusted her honest voice and slowly let go of fears that had restrained me from being and creating more. I became deeper and truer, because Jan was deep and true. And my writing and art expanded. Marry Your Muse is well-organized, rich and meaty, and void of fluff. Every chapter contains its distinct wisdom, realness, and a high calling to "Marry Your Muse."
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to go further in themselves and their art.

Marry Your Artist's Way
As I read Marry Your Muse, I was constantly reminded of The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron. The entire book sounded like a reworking of the information in Julia Cameron's book, which is ironic since Jan Phillips says to keep originality in mind as you begin your work. Her autobiograhical stories may, indeed, be original, but The "Artist's Creed" is simply a variation of "An Artist's Prayer" in The Artist's Way. Marry Your Muse is for people who don't want to do all of the assignments that are included in The Artist's Way or The Vein of Gold.
The photographs are great.
