I've done the morning pages off and on at various times over the past six years.

I might want to try that!! Also, I've been working on my book since Fall '09 - finished the first draft this past Fall, and am now beginning the revision process! <br /><br />Marcy - I hope you do!! I find they help me organize my writing in my head when I get stuck!<br /><br />Leah - Oh yes, I can imagine the busyness! Haha, I put Nick Jr. on for my kiddo when it's time to get mine written... that is the only thing that works. Too bad it gives me an annoying soundtrack to work to, though!<br /><br />Lola - I haven't done the entire book - only started it... but I did get into the Morning Pages habit and I am so glad I did. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733854662944058955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341726073504882359.post-86441287223902339892010-12-16T11:27:13.859-06:002010-12-16T11:27:13.859-06:00Beka - sometimes they are annoying, but wow, the w...Beka - sometimes they are annoying, but wow, the way they help me get my head in order is amazing! :)<br /><br />Kelly - Oooh, I love me a good to-do list :D The only way I get anything done in my day!<br /><br />Meeling - Haha!!

It's all about overcoming creative blocks. Not that I think you are blocked specifically, but just about all of us artists/writers are in one way or another. This book is excellent!<br /><br />Leslie - Go for it!!
