Day one: Getting back into the habit of daily writing after 8 months of teaching.
This is what happened when I timed myself doing 20 minutes of freewriting today, in the spirit of Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones. At first there was a great disconnect between my head and my hand – one I did not remember – with thoughts slowed, filtered, edited. Then the two linked up, the writing became illegible, and I think I may have fallen asleep. Since writing is likened to dreaming, I will count that as a good thing.
Looks like my writing journal. 🙂 I appreciate free writing more than I did in the past. It allows me the freedom to do whatever I want.
