Hi. The timeline works for me. The only thing that I am a bit concerned about is that the discussions will be out in the open but I will do my best as I like the fact that everything will be in one place.

I am ready to start. Thank you!

I'm waiting on the book from my local library but I expect to have it by the weekend or early next week, so I'm ready! I also don't really have a writing project to work on, but I'm very open to the process and maybe I'll form an idea or find a path as I go through the process. Excited!

I think this sounds great. I will probably not be able to respond the last two weeks(?)(Maybe only the last week?) because we'll be traveling in Europe with extremely limited wi-fi/cell. I will take the book along, do morning pages, walks, writing, and touch base when I'm able.

In a bloop of synchronicity, I grabbed a comp book tonight (before seeing your email), and while I originally thought it was blank, it had a few pages used. One was list of six writing projects I've had in mind the past several years. šŸ˜® I have at least 6 others that have been rattling around lately (so at least a dirty dozen to close from), but it was a great reminder.

Hi Amy, all set and waiting to start. Thank you for setting up everything so clear for us. The daily quota was something that blocked me first. I think it is best to just let it be and go along with the book and our daily practice. Once in the creative process everything will flow and fall into pieces.

Letā€™s do this!

My morning pages routine has fallen off- this 6-week framework will be a good reboot. Reading chapter 1 now and look forward to the discussion here next week.

Is there a set amount of time for the morning pages?

Iā€™m ready to do this, although Iā€™ve been writing morning exercises on and off since 1992.

Because I have MS, Iā€™ve always typed the pages. I donā€™t dictate. I just put a time stamp at the top and write fore 20 minutes.

A big plus: I can look back on what Iā€™ve written. Itā€™s instructive and I harvest ideas from it for the Substack. Cameron is wrong about destroying what you write.

I canā€™t walk very far but hope the weather is nice enough to take out my new power chair.

Bought the e-book (hate e-books!) and am ready to rock.

I got my book and read the 1st chapter. I'm planning to officially start week 1 tomorrow. I know morning pages are meant to be longhand but what about quota pages? Are you all planning to do those longhand as well or typed? I'm debating which makes more sense for me so I wondered what everyone else is thinking. Thanks!
