The hardest thing to give up so far has been the huge blocks of time I once had, to doodle and dream and read. I thought that without those things, I would never be able to write. But now I write more than ever--because the limits have made my hunger for expression grow. <BR/><BR/>I write freeform morning pages as soon as I wake up (after settling and nursing Madam), and I try to read and write during her naps. I do feel like I need a better way to record all of the ideas that drift by while I am walking with her, or nursing her. Those tend to dissipate before I dig out my notebook.<BR/><BR/>I'm still working on all this, but I don't believe it's impossible anymore.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for this post. It's nice to know I'm not alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14694098.post-1142528020660722822006-03-16T08:53:00.000-08:002006-03-16T08:53:00.000-08:00My writing mentor instrucked me to keep a notepad ...My writing mentor instrucked me to keep a notepad (and not a fancy lovely journal because they you may treat it as a "precious journal" and be afraid to write shitty, uninteresting, not perfect things in it) in my purse, my car, and next to my bed (with a little light so I don't wake up my lover). I have been ignoring these things lately. I need to figure out how to balance my love (and worry) for my new puppy and my screaming need to be alone and take care of myself. I will think about what I want to do by this summer and get back to you. Today, even coming up with a goal seems too daunting.<BR/><BR/>Love you!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172525504403702342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14694098.post-1142473065908601312006-03-15T17:37:00.000-08:002006-03-15T17:37:00.000-08:00I love visualizing make little notes and doodles a...I love visualizing make little notes and doodles as you pass by your sketchbook. It is so inspiring and makes me realize that perhaps I need to come up with new ways to squeeze in creative time. Teeny tiny creative time...because I tend to get hung up on the idea that I need big blocks of time to really get going. This is exactly what I need to read as my life goes into full throttle for the next 4-6 weeks.Swirlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657027738991952811noreply@blogger.com
