Follow Thoreau's advice; "Go forth boldly in the direction of your dreams; live the life you've imagined." (read all 13 entries…)
A Skype chat with the wonderful signora oye vey

about my resistance to writing has given me a path upon which to go forth boldly.

I am going to try daily morning pages.

I will ignore the negative part of me that wants to say, “Why would you think that would work?” and embrace the hopeful part of me going boldly forth that says, “Try it! It can only help.”

Thank you, signora oye vey. I always get something wonderful out of my interactions with you.

P.S. Tadpole wants to know “when she can see you on my computer again”. Frogette wants to know when you are coming back to visit. Frog sends kisses and hugs.

You don’t even have to.to think of morning pages as “helping” or “working” but rather as a tool to clear the slate so you can start fresh.

For me, it's a matter

of getting in the habit of writing.

signora oye vey to hell with perfect

a round of kisses, on the house!

It was really refreshing for me, too, to have a bit of time with you, rw! thanks for your listening and encouragement! Your smile, green and all, was a sight to behold!

Tell Tadpole I’ll see her again sometime soon, but only if she’s good. Tell her I’m like Santa Clause.

Tell Frogette pause unpause pause casserole unpause.

Tell Frog that kisses and hugs are a dime a dozen, I want him to send foot massages.

I hope morning pages work for you. I’m looking forward to hearing your feelings about them. (Warning: they might take a while to kick in … like getting addicted to running).

I started today.

And like running, I could only do a little bit the first day.
But at least I hit the pavement.

How are you finding morning pages? Are you seeing that there are recurring themes coming up in your writing?

Thanks so much for asking!

There is a lot of emotion being poured out into these pages: anger, worry, etc. No fiction or anything- just what’s on my mind.

I’ve done morning pages a bit over the years and have journalled regularly since I was a teenager. I often look back at old entries and gain a lot of insight. Sometimes I think ‘why didn’t I trust my instincts?’ and other times I think ‘why am I writing about the same old stuff that I’ve been writing about for years without doing something about it?!’ Regardless I think it’s a great and healthy way of expressing those pent up emotions so hope that’s what you’re finding:)
