The unbearable pretension of writing about not writing

i I’m sitting down with Julia Cameron at the end of an introspective day. Julia writes: Creativity is a spiral path; we pass through the same issues over and over again at slightly differing altitudes. I have written twenty books, some more easily than others. My own perfectionism is not banished, just disguised. Now I call it “having standards.” I recently threw away two hundred pages of…

Finding Water, grateful for Julia Cameron, kinda whiny anyway

Finding Water, grateful for Julia Cameron, kinda whiny anyway

I’m re-reading Julia Cameron’s Finding Water: The Art of Perseverance, one of her “sequels,” if I can be permitted to call them that, to her revolutionary creative recovery program, The Artist’s Way. I have a cynical suspicion that both Finding Water (2006) and its predecessor Walking in the World (2003)—as well as Cameron’s myriad The Artist’s Way spin-offs, including The Prosperous Heart (2012)

Alpha 17 | 7 Days to Die | Stable | Part 3 | Water

After the night I need water and food. I really wanted to get some pipes. But we have to keep this body working. So we head off to find something. There are some good buildings and a trader too. but we also don't have the cash for food or water. Surprise surprise Joel doesn't help me boil water. We find the big lake and BJ's Gas. We try to get in there and find some food and water. But the hounds find us and we have to get out of there.

DESERT SURVIVAL

Surviving in the deserts is far more complicated and difficult than in open waters or in wilderness. You do not have endless access to food or water. You cannot find shelters very often. There is no guarantee that anyone would come to your rescue and no way to light a signal. Well , If you do manage to get the necessities to light a fire, the nights are too cold to light it and the days are too bright for anyone to even spot your signals. You can be almost certain that you are dead if you lost your way. So it is better to learn a few things on desert survival before you think about venturing in the desert.

Ration First things first. You have to make sure that your supplies last for as long as they can. Do not take a bite or gulp down in the first sign of hunger. Your urine helps you figure that out, If your urine is dark, it means that it's time for some water and hopefully some food.

Clothing Try to cover most of your skin so that it minimizes evaporation and slows down the loss of water. It may feel extremely uncomfortable but it will help you live a little longer.

Equipment Pack a survival kit and lots of water. A flashlight with some extra batteries is a huge advantage in the desert. A mirror will be helpful too as it can reflect light to distant passersby or aircraft.

Shelter If you do manage to find a shelter with some amount of water, it would better to stay there for a longer time. Else you could spend the day time resting or having quick naps and move in night time. This saves a lot of energy and people can spot your flash light at night.

Seek water Water is more important than shelter. If you can spot animal herds it would be wise to follow them as they could be moving towards water or even a village. It is not advised to cut open a cactus as they mostly contain a thick, fibrous fluid and you could hurt yourself doing so. Even after all of these it is better to not get lost in the first place. Try to stick with the gang. And again if you are going on a desert trip try to purchase a satellite phone and a personal location beacon. This helps you stay in touch and people will know where to find you. Desert survival is not any easy feat to accomplish. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
