9am My Daily Pages 33° Boise
My alarm went off at 6:30 but I didn't begin to wake up until 7:30, didn't rise until 8:00 and now I'm just now sitting down to my practice. That's my new name for these pages ... writing practice. Of course that's what I do. But now that I think of it, I actually report my life as if it were a diary and I philosophize as if it were a journal and I plan my days and my projects as if it were a planner. The term "pages" covers what this is quite well, really. So it's not about practice at all, not here, not this. These really are my daily pages and that's that. Writing practice will have to be something else. Perhaps I can use my spiral pages for practice. I'm reading Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg and she's got all sorts of ways to practice writing. I may try some of them.
Today I have to get going, get dressed and get to the court house to be a witness to Kaelen's sentencing. He needs to see me there. If he's going to prison, I need him to know that I'll be lending him my support the whole time. I'll write, send books as I can, bring or send writing supplies. I'll visit when it's allowed. At least once I will, just to see if it's a good idea.
This week has been way too busy, too many other things to do besides write or make cards. I have a stack of prints ready to trim and affix to cards and then glitter but haven't had time. I don't like being this busy, I want to focus on my writing and my art. I'm not good with too many diverse things going on in a day. I'm not good at multitasking. But it's OK, after today, there should be time. In addition to the courthouse, I have errands to run and then the gym at 3pm. And I have yet to practice playing my guitar! But at least I got plenty of sleep, I should hold up for the entire day. I was so tired last night, I went to bed at 10pm, lights off by 10:20. That provided me with ten hours in the sack! Holy cow, how could I be that tired?!
Well, I better scoot. Bye for now.
