Disclaimer: The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is our inspiration. We can’t recommend the book and workshops enough. We want to extend the work to a platform using AI that helps humans make the most out of the explosion of generative AI. The artistsway.ai respects Cameron’s copyrights and occasionally quotes for clarification of the original work. Artistsway.ai is an original work of writing and expansion by John McElhenney, the creator of the platform. jan 2026 jmc
