Plans

Suquamish, WA - 19 Jul 2023 

Today for Morning Pages I managed to write three pages of fiction. I was pretty pleased with myself since this is an intention I've had for quite some time. I just couldn’t seem to get myself motivated into doing it when I got up in the morning. Today was different. 

I was sleeping pretty well last night. Towards the end of my sleep I was half waking here and there, hanging on to a dream that I just wanted to finish. Eventually I realized that was ridiculous and got up. But, right after rising while I was setting up the coffee I had this thought form in my head. It was the beginning of the story I've been wanting to write and I finally decided rather than dwell on it I would just get it started. 

So I sat down with my coffee and proceeded to write three pages of fiction. I'm hoping that's enough impetus to keep me going and that I can continue each and every morning pushing the story forward three pages at a time and then transcribe them to a document file. Eventually I expect I'll be able to start editing and fixing but for right now I’m happy to get it out of my skull and onto a piece of paper that I can work with later. So, until next time, we'll see how this journey goes. 

Keep on truckin’
