February Wrap Up: I was sick most of February. Still Writing down the bones set me in a course. KC was my fav, and I am glad to have finished the second in the wolf hall trilogy. Beautyland is from TOB. It made a good bookgroup discussion but not my favorite. The LM made me want to read the measure.
Here‘s another journaling thing I looked up. I wanted to know if there were Afternoon Pages like there are Morning and Night Pages. I‘ve done Afternoon Pages and Night Pages before and the last 2 days, I tried Morning Pages because I had to get up early. I‘ve never tried guided journaling before. I‘ve done Afternoon Pages before and I feel like that works for me because I don‘t get up early. If I don‘t do it at noon then I can do it at night.
This morning, I did some upside drawing with this picture turned upside down. I tried to draw it just by looking at it. All I know how to draw is stick figures. I don‘t know if I like how my drawing turned out or not. Maybe I should do more upside down drawing. After that, I did Morning Pages. I‘ve never done this before. I‘ve only been doing Night Pages before bed along with a book I‘m currently reading.

“Life isn‘t supposed to be lived as some kind of example to others; all it is, all it can be, is a crashing together of moments.“
bailed4 chapters in and I couldn‘t do this anymore. This is just a giant string of quotes followed by rubbish. Shakespeare wasn‘t a genius because he learned to write and got better at it as he did it, and because one hit wonders are geniuses? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
pickI had heard good things about this writing craft book so nabbed this when it popped up on skip the line loans. Turns out it was abridged, but I listened anyway and it is quite good. I‘d like to read the whole thing someday.
pickI am so glad I discovered Beth Kempton (via Instagram, of all places)!
She comes across as a thoughtful, genuine and generous person and her books reflect this. This one's accompanying podcast is a great listen, too, and her website offers various supportive freebies (meditations, a writing group workbook...)
I am actually starting to think about writing again (I haven't been able to write since I completed my poetry book a couple of years ago).
