Thank you for this post. It was very interesting to read!
I found this book 15 years ago. I only read about morning pages and started doing them. It’s a great activity that has helped me through the hardest parts of my life. I always type these pages on a computer. There’s a site called 750 Words, which was created for this purpose. I’ve written over two hundred thousand words there. I learned to type blindly, so sometimes I even typed with my eyes closed, and once I even fell asleep during my morning pages, which I wrote at night to keep the streak going. When I reread my pages, I sometimes discover that the past wasn’t exactly how I remembered it. The most interesting things for me to read are diary notes about where I went, whom I met, and what the weather was like. I think it’s also good therapy.
Maybe I should finally read the whole book :)
Happy to read that you know the book. 200K words are a lot. I wrote in Japanese with my hand so it might be different but I wonder how many it was.
It is interesting that you fell asleep and keep on typing. I want to read my unconscious typing too someday 😊
I agree with diary notes. I keep it in the night time before going to bed. As you wrote it’s a therapy. I especially enjoy reading it in the end of the year to look back what was the year like.
I googled it and 200k words is like the whole 1Q84 novel by H.Murakami. So, it's not that much for 15 years, especially when it's not a very clean text, and a lot of phrases like 'i don't know what to write'😁
Wow! So you are a Murakami 😁 I sometimes have drawing in my Morning Pages so my word count (actually there is no word count for Japanese as everything sticks together without a space) might be less than average.
