End of the Line

I finished my final two weeks of 'The Artist's Way' program. Here's me doing the check-in for the last week.

1. I stopped doing my morning pages. I feel like they would be more useful to someone in a slightly different situation in life. My life is very hectic and I found that if I only had 15 minutes a day to write - using the time to write my morning pages was a waste of it. Instead, I finished my novella in these last two weeks. That isn't to say that I don't think morning pages are a good tool. What the problem is really is that I start writing and all these wonderful dreams come out and then I don't have time any of them come true before I'm back to writing more dreams. I have another problem too. You're supposed to write morning pages out long hand. My right hand is somewhat wrecked from all the writing I've done when I used to do all my writing long hand and guess what - my arm is starting to hurt all the way up to my elbow. Typing is easier for me. I plan to write those pages whenever I need to figure out what I want - anytime of the day or night.

2. I went and got my hair cut and talked to the hairdresser about art the whole time. I find that I'm always trying to soak up new experiences, but this program has made me far more aware of my needs. Doing these dates definitely got me out of the house more. I can't wait until I have the time to do these more.

3. I think I experience synchronicity every week. I think I had the best luck with my hairdresser. She did a great job and I haven't had a good haircut in forever.

4. I don't think there were any other issues.
