Publisher's summary

"Eliza Foss performs this powerful audiobook in a mature-sounding voice she modulates with skill."—AudioFile on The Listening Path (Earphones Award winner)

Floor Sample is a memoir from the Queen of Creativity, Julia Cameron…

Julia Cameron has transformed the creative lives of millions, showing them that creativity is their uniquely human birthright. But long before the tools of The Artist’s Way changed the conversation around creativity, Julia developed and used them in her own life.

Floor Sample is the story behind an artistic life—detailing Julia's years in New York, her time as a writer for Rolling Stone, her turbulent marriage to Martin Scorsese, and her painful struggle with alcohol, which ultimately led her to recovery and the methods that would form the backbone of The Artist’s Way.

The life Julia shares in her memoir is tempestuous, flitting restlessly across the country, falling in and out of love, wrestling with alcohol and mental health, but through all of it, always, her art was a fixed point and north star. Featuring a brand new prologue from the author, Floor Sample is honest and unapologetic, a glimpse into the heart and mind behind The Artist’s Way.

Overly long, repetitive and self-absorbed

Having loved the artist way, I thought it would be interesting to listen to Julia Cameron’s ‘s life. I am still two hours from the end, but I have to say that I am finding the story to portray her as completely self-absorbed. It is overly long and repetitive with her going through every single thing she has done, repeating dozens of times how she she was obsessed with her writing and detailed dozens of scenes that all turned into a blur.. It became dizzying with all of her moves and flying around the world, again portrayed in great detail for every move. it showed her to always put herself first, while not taking into consideration those she reports to love. I will finish it because I’ve gone this far, but I’m sorry I chose it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
