Another day of lunchtime pages 3 days ago

I get writer’s cramp but I shake it off and keep writing. I usually type when I “write” so writing longhand is a bit of a change for me. TAW says that you can do the pages on a computer if you do it with the monitor turned off so you can’t see what you’re typing or edit. I wouldn’t mind trying that except I think I will wait for a weekend to do that. Since I write on my lunch break, I am at work when doing my lunchtime pages. I’m pretty sure it would draw unwanted attention if I sat at my PC typing furiously with the monitor off at work.

Did my first "lunchtime" pages today 4 days ago

As I mentioned in a previous entry on this goal, I have decided to do my morning pages during my lunch break. Better then than not at all. It seemed to work out well. Though my hand became cramped from writing I was able to do a mind dump and just let the words flow. It was a different experience for me writing without judging. Normally, I try to print neatly but I just let the words flow and did not make an attempt to correct myself. Nothing astounding happened but is was interesting to see what fell out of my brain.
