Blake,
First I will look for the book you metioned for artists! It sounds awesome! I have found the more I become who I have always been the less I have creative blocks, as a matter of fact I am back to that stage I was when I was a kid. I will really enjoy reading the book!

The space between the words! You know my calligraphy teacher use to say that the white space between the words is often as important if not more important than the words them selves!!! Wow! Isn't that powerful! I often try to tell people that my favorite music is the music in the silence, and usually they have no idea what that means! I do listen to music in my car, but when I am at home and especially when I am working in my creative space I do not listen to music... As a matter of fact, there could be a major party going on in the room next door, and all kinds of ruckus going on and I would not even know it! I go into my own little space... my creative space or world. The silence is can be anywhere... even with noise around! It is the now here place. There is a beautiful music in the NOW... most people never experience it because they are to busy drowning it out! Most people are afraid of the silence because they are afraid they might see who they really are! If they only knew how wonderful they are! Yes, his energy does come through his book! Unfortunately, mine is someplace where I can not find it, but as soon I get moved out of the shelter, into housing I will find it!

As far as the eating thing... It will heal itself in time! Try to not get all tied up in rules or what the world thinks is right! Remember you are righting your reality, and you can write any way you want to! I was getting all wrapped up in my eating habits again and worrying about my weight, and then I talked to a friend... and he reminded me of that! I have decided to just work on the issues that come up that are core issues and let my weight and my food work themselves out! Turns out I realized my consuming thought and worries about how I eat was the EGG!

It sounds like you are doing great, and on a great path! Don't put too much pressure on yourself to travel faster or whatever agenda your ego mind can come up with! Just enjoy the eggs as they come up... listen between the words to the silence. Be in the NOW!
Oh and GRATITUDE, GRATITUDE, GRATITUDE!!!! For all you have created in the past and all you are creating now!

You are AWESOME! Blessings Sallyjane zartgirl
