This chapter really turned me off because of Julia Cameron's "carnival of unexamined [class] privilege." (I love the tag, by the way.) I just can't get behind some of what she says, and I know my pushback would be identified as "resistance," but our economic realities are very, very different; for me, not only do I need to keep food on the table and a roof over my head, if I don't have a "real" job (i.e., the kind with a full time contract with a legitimate employer), I will lose my visa status and have to leave the country.

On the other hand, I liked her idea of time as luxury; I deny myself time to just be or do. The paragraph about "this is extravagant, but so is God" worked for me, even if I don't believe in a/the/her "God."
