What seems to work is to first set aside some lines for your artistic
creation, select them, and do "C-x n n" (narrow-to-region) before
turning on artist-mode. Then, when you have finished, turn off
artist-mode and do "C-x n w" (widen).

This is a bit of a pain to remember the steps, but it does protect the
org file from getting clobbered.
