Of Course Julia Cameron Still Does Her 'Morning Pages' (The Cut)

At 74, Cameron has enjoyed a prolific writing career, authoring memoirs, short stories, screenplays, musicals, and more. A lifelong creative, she remains in hot ...

I take myself to the Santa Fe Bar & Grill and I break my vegan resolve. She’s very brusque and dark and I find myself resonating in a not-lighthearted way. I bake a lot of pies. At the beginning of my career, I was a short-story writer, and I wrote a short story and I showed it to my best friend and she said, “Oh, Julia, if you publish this, you’ll ruin your career.” At the time, I had no career, but that didn’t keep me from taking it to heart. Then it got reviewed in the New York Times negatively; I felt like I should go out in New York wearing a sackcloth and ashes. After I let her out of her crate, I drink cold coffee, which I keep in a carafe in the refrigerator. I make sour-cream-raisin pie, a recipe that’s been handed down in my family for generations. I have supper and phone calls, and I write again for about an hour and a half before bed. My puppy, Violet, is 20 weeks old, so I have her in a crate at night, and the first thing I do is slip on my slippers and let her out. But then I thought, No, goddamn it, and I wrote a little ditty. Most writers have bouts of self-doubt, which I call the “credibility attack.” It doesn’t seem to matter how accomplished you are — you still have an inner critic. I ask for guidance from what we might loosely call “the universe” and write what I hear.
