End of the road....
1. Morning pages?
Every day. I'm going to keep them - they seem to help - but modified. Three pages neatly written is too much sometimes. Three pages sloppily written bugs me. So I will keep them as 1-3 or 2-6 pages (depending on the size of the journal), where how much I write depends on the morning and whether I think I need to keep going. I did that for the first time this morning and it felt so good - and I wrote smaller and wrote more and raced less.
2. Artist date?
Hmm. Unless you count hauling the shelves around, not so much so. I'd just come out of a whole long vacation week where I enjoyed myself at whatever. I did the shelves on Sunday - then I was back at work, and on call, which restricts what I can do a fair bit. I did spend part of each evening for several days reading in bed, though, if that counts. I don't think it really does....
I do intend to continue to do AD's, maybe weekly, maybe only every other week or once a month, but not less than 0once a month. What I really want to do more than formal ADs is I want to learn to live with more care for myself, so that there is that underlying element of taking care of myself always.
3. Synchronicity?
Yes. I had something happen that made me think "I have to write about that in my check-in, how perfect!" I've forgotten what it was.... Sigh.
4. Other issues?
The shellllves are up!
And, honestly, I'm gleeful the AW is over. It was probably good to finish it out but the process had become quite stifling. I'm very glad I did it - the early parts were very useful and the later parts weren't a loss - but I'm glad to be clear of so much Process too. And I'm deeply, profoundly grateful to have found all the wonderful bloggers that I have - I sincerely hope we find some way, such as Kat's proposed creativity work or some other approach, to have some common/connected ground. I also hope we stay in touch, whether or not there's a specific link. :)
Now to take notes on the exercises I didn't do throughout the process, but might want to do at some point....

Hey...that's a good idea. I'll look through for the exercises that didn't happen this time around or maybe pick one when my writing feels less than inspired. Thanks!
Wow, you wrote morning pages EVERY DAY?! I'm IMPRESSED. It's hard to do! Yes, it's lovely that Kat is keeping it going at CC. Looking forward to finding continued inspiration there. :)
Oops! My shorthand may have been misleading here. Every day this week - 7/7 - if you read my archives, you'll see that I missed during the AW as a whole. Sorry for any confusion.
