Up to 200; Keying Morning Pages; Treasure Book Art

#

Shall I bump these posts up to 200 words beginning today? I shall. Reading Julia Cameron, I should be long-hand-writing three pages first thing every morning. That won’t work for me. After cancer treatment, with neuropathy, my handwriting is problematic. I can’t read it. Cameron specifically says not to keyboard, but I’m going to keep keying. I’ve got this 100 word practice going. Expanding to 200 words now, and gradually increasing to 500 words is my plan. No timeline affixed for 500, yet. Otherwise, I’ll stick to her twelve-week course, and get that organized by tomorrow. By organized, I mean on my weekly calendar. Now, on to a new subject. I have stumbled upon a combination art-practice. Or perhaps I have done so. “Treasure Books” and collage could combine writing, drawing, photography, stamps, and old books. That could be satisfying and maybe show-able. I know, I know. I keep reaching out for new things. How music, theater, and linocut art fit into the plan, I don’t know, yet. Exploring, reading, writing, and trying will help me get something going. I may need another bookshelf, which is annoying. We’ll see what I can figure out at home and in the office-hut.
