Julia Cameron: Write for Life

I have been blogging for half of my life; therefore, I wanted to know how to Write for Life. The gist of the book is writing the “Morning Pages.” Cameron writes:

Every morning, set your alarm thirty minutes early and write, longhand, three eight and a half by eleven-inch pages about anything and everything that comes to mind. I always say I would never stand between anyone and their morning coffee, but try to get to the page as quickly as possible-don’t spend forty-five minutes brewing the perfect cup. The faster you get to the page, the better the pages will work for you. Avoid the phone, computer, and email until you have finished your pages. They will act as windshield wipers, clearing away what stands between you and your day.

It turns out that I have been using this method for years. Instead of writing on paper, I type right into this box.
