I used to do morning pages, i.e., after the practice advocated by The Artist's Way Workshops.
I recall after a month or so of 'dumping my brain' each morning into these pages, that I had a surge of creative energy.
I recall how I 'embarrassed' myself, writing bad (and a few good) poems and by painting emotive but awful watercolors.
But I felt really god about life back then, and I re-read some of those pages a few weeks ago and wondered aloud whether my head might benefit from returning to the practice.
In 12-step and self-help Gestalt groups I think they call this type of confession 'telling on myself' which is a mechanism to place pressure upon myself -- by telling you about this, I take the 'maybe I ought to get busy again' thought out of my head, and place it in front of the group.
Have you ever done morning pages, and what was you experience?
Perhaps your ideas will motivate me to start scribbling, again.
