(E.g. Can't manage writing 50K words in one month? Do NaNoWriMo anyway, but change your goals to suit your needs.)<br /><br />So, instead of going on a total reading sabbatical in Week Four, I'm just making sure to give myself quiet time on my commute instead of reading/listening to an audiobook. I have to keep reframing the "God" language to fit my actual beliefs. And I'm skipping the morning pages entirely right now.<br /><br />So, am I getting the whole value of the program? Probably not. Am I enjoying what I'm learning anyway? Yep.<br /><br />So, worthwhile? For me, yep.CKHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741681893677604323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849583276019228310.post-24647264679196944822010-03-09T10:46:43.030-05:002010-03-09T10:46:43.030-05:00I'm interested to hear how you find the... pro...I'm interested to hear how you find the... program, I guess. I got this as a birthday gift (along with Cameron's writing diet book; thanks, mom) and I've been a little afraid to crack it open, partly because of the morning pages thing.Mrs. Brightsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869179984364861269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849583276019228310.post-16976074569669793752010-03-08T08:09:06.791-05:002010-03-08T08:09:06.791-05:00I tried this too and failed on the morning pages a...I tried this too and failed on the morning pages account.

I don't hate to be such a sap and therefore unabashedly proclaim that I hope I am still making love with the love of my life when I am 80. I can't bear to imagine live without this kind of passion - a passion that inspires and fuels all the other glorious dreams and goals we seek in living a fulfilled and worthwhile life.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981051639515288641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849583276019228310.post-38424680055474735012010-03-05T21:01:28.314-05:002010-03-05T21:01:28.314-05:00Okay, so we have writing and painting and travelin...Okay, so we have writing and painting and traveling... and running away from one's deadlines in the most exciting and stylish way possible.

This of course means I'll have spent forty-one years on the run as my agent hunts me down. I will have wandered this country, zig-zagging back and forth across the map of it like a vagabond, helping people get out of jams along the way, getting helped in the process. I'll have taught, and yes, learned some valuable lessons, maybe gotten a bruise or bump along the way but HEY! who doesn't, and isn't that what it's all about, really?<br /><br />It's a very "The Fugitive" or "Incredible Hulk"-like life I see for myself apparently.<br /><br />Oh, and I want to have driven a car into a shrub only to have it do a stupendous flip in the air and land on the roof, like in every episode of The A-Team.Sean Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233391827095815940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849583276019228310.post-20107438419618902682010-03-05T11:31:27.281-05:002010-03-05T11:31:27.281-05:00I'll probably not be doing martial arts at age...I'll probably not be doing martial arts at age 80, but I know I'll be reading and writing.
