It's ten years or so sin...You're friended.<br /><br />It's ten years or so since I read The Artists Way and Walking in This World... very, very good, I think I read WITW first and liked it better.<br /><br />Her key recommendation for writers is to roll out of bed and write three pages longhand, she calls it 'morning pages'. It has the effect of 'distilling' out the background thoughts in preparation for 'real' writing, but a lot of ideas and little gems of writing can turn up in those pages also.<br /><br />regolithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-81661389530021760602014-06-14T21:47:02.884-07:002014-06-14T21:47:02.884-07:00If you friend emprazeman on livejournal I'll b...If you friend emprazeman on livejournal I'll be able to see it. <br /><br />Looks like Julia Cameron: http://www.amazon.com/The-Artists-Way-Julia-Cameron/dp/1585421464<br /><br />Looks like a fantastic read!

Attempted a 'short story'...Very, very true.<br /><br />Attempted a 'short story' on the subject just a few days ago, about the difference practice makes with music.<br />Skip a day, make another excuse, before you know it a week's gone... then you basically start over again at a lower level.<br />When I've been playing the instrument a few days in a row I can kind of 'trick' myself into moving from exercises and easy tunes onto the sort of stuff that normally makes my eyes cross in bewilderment... and play it. Skip a day or two and it's too advanced again.<br />I should be practising now but am on the internet instead.<br /><br />regolithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
