every morning i wake up , sit , and write whatever comes top of mind on a yellow legal pad.
most of it is complete garbage , but theres usually 1-2% that comes out in ways i think are meaningful , or hold some practical value for the writing i share with you on occasion.
from these morning pages , i take bits and pieces and craft them into words that hopefully make it to the typewriter , and provide some value to the reader on the other side of the screen.
this process draws inspiration from the artists way by julia cameron - a book that was the sole focus of one of my last courses in undergrad university.
