SBFactoryGirl wants to come back

Complete "The Artist's Way" (read all 2 entries…)
So here's my attempt to "breathe and reboot"

So…. I started this almost three months ago… and I am still stuck in the first week.

I got into a good flow with my morning pages for a while there… I’d miss a morning or two… I’d get halfway down the first page occasionally and be so bored with myself that I’d want to stop… but I kept going.
UNTIL I bought that damn morning pages journal. Sold specifically for the purpose of writing your morning pages. Divided by week/chapters, quotes from the book on each page and exactly enough pages for seven days in each section.
My flow stopped. I have only done three since I bought it three weeks ago. The pages are gigantic and I think… that I am going to go buy a pretty journal that I feel good about writing in and use the ready-made one for exercises and maybe check-ins

I’ll start the first week again. artist date planned for Sunday :-D

I had my suspicions . . .

. . . about that workbook. I’m glad I didn’t buy it.

I do write on regular notebook size, college ruled paper, but I am also a teacher and I know that too much “guidance” can curtail creativity almost instantly.

Your idea to get a pretty journal is a great one. I always tell my students to keep their writings somewhere special. Their great-grandchildren will want to read that stuff someday! (my students are in elementary school, so they think it’s hilarious to picture themselves as someone’s great-grandmother)
