I haven’t exactly finished the book, but with the classes i’ve been taking — partly inspired by the book — i don’t think i can commit to it this fall.

On the other hand, the long hand morning pages are probably a tool i should keep at hand. There are also “Mind Hacks,” as one might call them, processing tools that help with motivation and processing conflicting feelings. I should probably review the book for some of those tools to keep on hand for the next few months.

I committed to going through this twelve week program, starting 7 May, on April 30th. It’s been very useful to start the more disciplined practice of morning pages all over again. I’m doing them longhand this time. I still find the “time-outs” or “Artist Dates” challenging.
