I really loved Zen in the Art of Archery if you're interested in a Buddhist perspective. I stuck with the morning pages and artist dates, but to be honest the prompts in The Artist's Way rub me the wrong way and I didn't find that it was ultimately that helpful in helping me be "unblocked." I don't think the things Julia focuses on are really that central to the problem of creative blockages. Have you read Rick Rubin's "The Creative Act" yet?
Oh adding that to my list, I love Buddhism. It’s the first religion as a kid I truly felt connected to. That’s hilarious because it’s similar for me. I use the morning pages and affirmations, but everything else is hit or miss. I have read (listened to) The Creative Act. I enjoyed it and it was very meditative.
