do my morning pages every morning

I got into a stride with these before, every morning even if I had to wake up horrible early. And it seemed to help, but since I lost my routine-having something later in the day to do it tapered off. Need to get back to it.

that i actually did it this morning. i got a little relief in my schedule, so i had time in the morning. ‘twas nice. gonna try to make a habit of it … again.

i still haven’t been doing it. i mean, i’ll resolve to do it and will actually do it for about three days and then that’s it. done. no longer doing. lame.

i need to focus on that morning routine. maybe that will help me get my act together.

or even just free writing whenever. even if i can’t get it done in the morning.

this habit is taking me forever to get down. whatever. i’m not giving up on it. aiowelgfa!

three days in a row of writing. not exactly first thing in the morning, but at least i am writing a little. that’s better than all the not writing i was doing before. i can keep this bit of momentum up a bit, i suspect.

i haven’t been doing this at all. at all. it’s super valuable, though. my creativity has hit a block and i think this could get it going again.

i resolve to do it tomorrow.

I tried The Artist’s Way over a year ago and gave up on morning pages after a few days. I think I was doing double, because “3 pages” means both sides of a page to me. Now I do “3 sides” every morning, even though I’ve lately been doing it second or third thing, especially if I have appointments later in the day. But I’ve done them every day, even when I didn’t want to. There’s always some ‘I don’t know what to say anymore’ followed by something that popped into my head after I wrote that. :)

It’s only my second morning and I’m starting to like it. Well, the first 10 minutes or so is always a struggle, but after that, thoughts just come on one after the other. All I do is simply write them down.

I tried switching to doing it on the computer for a while, but it wasn’t as useful for me. I use composition books and they fill up in a couple of months. I don’t make it every day, but I’m pretty close. Definitely going to keep doing it.

The biggest reason why I seem to struggle with doing 3 morning pages every morning: caffeine. I always wake up thinking: must make coffee stat. I drink my coffee & then move on to other things, like showering.

but, I did them this morning (due to having a really cool dream) & it was great. It’s nice to have some time (even if it’s just a few moments) completely devoted to that feeling after waking up: thinking about important things/dreams, getting the creative juices flowing, putting them down on paper so they don’t instantly evaporate, basking in that meditative-intuitive mode every morning..

missed yesterday because i ended up crashing at a friend’s house. missed today because i overslept.

tomorrow. nothing can stop me tomorrow.
