Morning pages? Journaling? Or something else? Find your ideal morning writing experience.
I started writing in the morning at the beginning of 2016. What began as Morning Pages morphed into journaling and then became something else, something which was neither but served me better. I hope this post serves to clarify the difference between the two and helps you choose the best way to start your day on paper.
Throughout 2016 it seemed everyone was talking about the importance of writing as part of a morning routing, but as the year passed it seemed that there were two main types of morning writing.
- The Morning Pages
- Journaling
So what is the difference between them and what is the purpose of each?
The Morning Pages
I started with the Morning Pages by religiously following Julie Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way.
If you want to take on the challenge of following this book, it is a challenge but you will learn your own lessons and awake any dormant creative within you. Doing the Morning Pages is the most important of many tools that Cameron shares in her book.
