If you want to develop yourself as a writer, you've got to write. It's not something you can really avoid.
Right.
So, back to the page I go. Again.
I've been refreshing myself with The Artist's Way and reminding myself of the importance of Morning Pages. Julia Cameron (the creator of the book) describes the Morning Pages in this way:
"Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages-- they are not high art. They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind-- and they are for your eyes only."
I know one thing about these pages for sure. I know that I feel more balanced when I wake up to the page. I'm not so sure that it will ever mold me into a fabulous writer, but it might make me a calmer, happier person.
