Just restarted mine after a flu-long lull. I know things are getting back on track when I’m doing the pages. I’m not occupied, as you and Julia say, with all that clutter for the rest of the day and my writing/ speaking/ musical voices are more free.

I enjoy the time letting my mind preoccupy itself and am left feeling accomplished. I also relate to making connections or observing myself in a deeper way through writing. I haven’t been as good at keeping up artist’s dates since finishing the book. If you have any thoughts on that I’d love another article related to it 🙂

oh my goodness such synchronicity in action Diane !!! I love to hear it. And I can’t wait to hear how morning pages go for you now that you have no defenses left against it 💛

I’ve just begun Cameron’s book and wrote my first set of morning pages just a few hours before stumbling across this article.

And you know what else is interesting? I read this comments and found that another reader is experiencing the same specific synchronicity – below, Dietmar shares that he started his morning pages practice just a few days before.

I’ll tell you what – at first, second, and third thought, I pushed back hard against this practice. One part of my mind stamps in impatience and says, let’s get on with the creating and forget about all this mulling about emotions before hand. But another, wiser part of me says, if Cameron says it will help, and it has helped many other pages, then let’s give morning pages a try. Finding your words that uplift this practice give me a lovely sense of affirmation and encouragement. Thank you.

I (re)did The Artist’s Way toward the beginning of the pandemic and felt like it really clarified and focused my energy for the hard months that followed. I’d love to hear how it goes for you if you revisit the book or the practices! (ps: you’re right about my insta — I’ll fix that ASAP! if you want, you can find me @ellenkoneck) xox

PS – I think the link to Ellen’s Instagram at the bottom of the page is broken.
