do the artists way

I keep seeing these entries and it’s captured my interest. Will look into it.

Week one I wrote every day, though one day I only wrote half of my pages. I went to Boulder’s Beach to see the Penguins as my Artist’s Date. I got some good insight! Off to Week 2!

I’ve started, and i love it. More soon!

I’ve had the book sitting here for weeks and weeks but haven’t taken the time to start it yet. There just never seems to be a good time to get started.

I’m actually taking a class this semester that uses the Artist’s Way as its main text- I started my morning pages this morning- January 1st, even though school doesn’t start for another week. I was just so looking forward to it…and the New Year inspired me!

I’ve started several times. Now I want to finish

I’ve done Morning Pages every day for the past week – and actually look forward to them instead of dreading them as I’ve done previously. I’m up to the third chapter about the Imagic-Nation. Did go on walks, didn’t go an Artist’s Date.

I was going strong and making discoveries…but then mid-terms came and I stopped the book.

But when summer comes, oh, it’s definitely on. :D

Had a brainwave about Morning Pages. Mornings are pretty full: get breakfast for Max, make Max’s school lunch, make my lunch, make Paco breakfast/lunch he can take in the truck, get Max dressed, make 3 or 4 “juices” (sippy cups with vitamins, enzymes and the other supplements Max takes). Alright then you big baby, just get up earlier and make more time for yourself! So I got up earlier. The dogs made noise anticipating breakfast and going outside which woke Max up. Then Max wanted breakfast and to cuddle on the sofa since he was awake and didn’t want to be. So the net effect was that everyone was up early – but I didn’t end up with more time to myself. So my idea is that I’ll keep my notebook by the bedside and wake up early and write in bed! I wrote at work this morning – which on the upside: I had a cup of jasmine tea while writing and I did get my pages done.

Lost ground somewhere around week three (again). I really hope I manage to do this all the way through one of these days, but for now this goal in going in the dreaded ‘I give up’ pile.
