OMG, no email or TV either? I didn't realize that... I don't think I'm gonna make it. Good luck!

dianeensey Well, Cameron says not to replace reading with another activity that is
mind-numbing, like TV. I already watch too much TV, so I just won't watch
more to make up for the time I'm not reading.

Bach's the best. The Goldberg Variations, played by Glenn Gould and recorded just before he died, are my favorite.

in Artist’s Way - Week Three Recovering a Sense of Power on Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7
That's great that you can revisit a situation or group of people that caused you grief and have that kind of detached attitude. I'd like to be able to do that, rather than just avoiding to avoid pain.

in Lancing an Abcess with Morning Pages on Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7
Isn't it amazing how much stuff is in there? Sometimes it's so heavy I'm afraid to put it on the page. But like a rotten tooth I guess it's best to get it out, no matter how painful. Sorry for the ugly metaphor!

I think I will. Today I actually got up at 6 and stumbled down to the computer, and it actually hurt my eyes, it was so bright. I had to type with my eyes closed for the first page or two. Pen and paper seems like it might be a little more natural and less industrial. But I'm just so lazy, and typing's so easy....

dianeensey I'm hearing you - been getting up an hour earlier than normal and finding
that writing with closed eyes is easier than it sounds - LOL.

in Dreams of Rage » Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7 on Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7
Funny, I had a weird birth dream last night, where no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get to the hospital, which was an enormous, gothic building far off in the distance. etc etc, lots of weird details, but I also wondered if it had to do with starting the Artist's Way (can't get to the scary place I have to to give birth to my creative self blah blah blah).

I actually do my morning pages on the computer because my writing is just too messy and I type so much faster (do you think that's "allowed"?), but I do find that about 1.5 pages into it I get stuck, and really have to force myself to finish. Often something interesting comes out at that point (I guess something I was resisting or whatever). I also found the affirmations a bit hokey (just started today) but when I started with the negative stuff first (the "blurts), I was really surprised by how some of the affirmations fit so perfectly and actually made sense to me.
BTW great website. I've also had rage dreams, but that's another topic....
