Julia Cameron describes the Artist Date as a once-weekly solo expedition to do something that enchants or interests you to inspire creativity.

Yesterday was my weekly Artist Date - I found a couple of interesting artists on BandCamp and then filled my ears with live music.

Another Thanksgiving dinner down the gullet. Did you overeat? How many leftovers do you have? We'll be eating turkey leftovers and pie for the next week and a half. I won't be going out to today - I want to avoid the mad shoppers on Black Friday. Think I'll stay home and play my guitar.
