The shock wave of creativity

I've started something. Following loosely Julia Cameron's Artist's way creativity recovering and opening exercises. Don't know if it's Julia or me, but recently (done it for 4 weeks now, started right after a how-would-i-call-it, woeful incident) I've been able to concentrate on something else than myself.

There have been interesting people in the trams, metro or on the streets of course earlier, but only now I'm writing about them. In addition to morning pages, I'm actually doing some writing! Not just personal kinda writing but actual writing. And it feels so good! Today I've written so far 3 morning pages, 1,5 pages of short prose in finnish and 1 page of character descriptions in english. Plus Julia's weekly tasks, like completing sentences 10 items I'd like to own... If I had either faith or money, I'd try...

Last time I tried Cameron's book about 10 years ago, it didn't work for me because the timing was not right. Now the timing is just perfect and I'm just in the right responsive mood. I am ignoring the spiritual parts that don't feel comfortable, though.
