The Artist's Way: Week 12

Much to my surprise I’m nearing the end of this twelve-week journey. (I thought it was 13 weeks, so that was like a bonus.) Here are my thoughts:

a) I am much less pissy about writing morning pages when I sketch in them too. Since hummingbirds are almost as present as cats during daylight hours, they get a lot of real estate in these pages.

b) I don’t care that she says these should be three pages of writing only. It takes me the best part of an hour to get through three pages of longhand drivel; at least I can make it more fun by drawing too.

c) Despite myself, I ALWAYS feel better if I’ve written my morning pages.

d) Artist’s dates are fun and I plan to continue having them.

e) I think I will be turning more to the Danny Gregory visual journal idea than morning pages per se, but without making them too precious.

I made a drawing yesterday about my journal ecosystem… missing even from the list of missing items are my knitting journal and my nature journal. I ought to redo this drawing to include them all.
