Notebook System Update and Thoughts

-
 I brought my thinking book with me to work today. It's a heavy little booger. But I like having it with me. It got me thinking about everything I'm using and want to use for my writing--notebooks, software, apps, ma brain...lol I would love to have it all in one place, but that's impossible, of course. I need different things to function in different ways. I made a list in the thinking book of everything I've currently got going, which then led me to start this blog post. So, here goes: I have two A5 ring binders, one I bought from Amazon that has skinny rings and a Moterm I got from Jaime that has bigger rings. I was using the skinny one as kind of an all-in-one writing binder, but I decided to move the reference materials and workbooks to the Moterm since it has more room. I'm thinking about resetting the skinny one as either a series bible or some other form of story note-keeping. Next is my A5 Vera Bradley spiral notebook. It's currently housing the few act...

Goodbye, Artist's Way. (Writing Meeting Update!)

-
Yesterday, Jaime and I FINALLY had a writing meeting after so many months! Well, it was more of a bestie hangout day. We didn't just discuss writing, we caught up on EVERYTHING. Which was awesome. She surprised me with my Mother's Day present from Alex--the Hobonichi Weeks cover she'd bought for herself when she bought mine for my birthday! He bought it from her for me! I had been planning on buying it when I had the money. So sweet! I have to say, yesterday was one of the best days I've had in a long time. In addition to the meeting/hangout, this stuff happened: When I paid my rent, I found out I have a huge credit on my account, so next month I'm only going to owe about 1/4 of what I usually pay! This is a huge blessing, considering we're on semester break right now, so that future paycheck is going to suck! Right before the meeting, I attended part of the livestream of the GNTC graduation ceremony. My main student whom I've been tutoring all semester grad...

Morning Pages and Overall Writing Update

-
 Yesterday morning, I didn't get to do my morning pages in my journal. It took me forever to wake up, and by the time I was fully awake, my attention got hijacked. I ended up getting dressed, making a breakfast run to McDonald's, then going to work. While there, I got the idea to turn my MP entry into a blog post, and while I was at it give an update on how the whole morning pages thing is going. So I started this post but never finished it. When I got home, I decided to just go ahead and do a journal entry and call it an "afternoon page." But I didn't want to just delete this post; I still wanted to do the update. So here I am, and I've decided to throw in an overall writing update while I'm at it. I'm still going strong as far as doing MPs every day. I haven't missed a single day since I started back in September. That is a real accomplishment for me! But lemme tell ya, the reason I haven't missed is bc I am VERY lenient with myself. Many, ma...
