Morning pages

Blah! that is what is comming out of my head, i read in a book that a writer should spend a few minutes writing out pages, preferably by hand, until you have filled 3 pages of writing, just whatever words come out of your head, silly garbled, abstract whatever comes out, not to be read by humans of course, just as a mind clearing excercise, to get the clutter out of the trunk as it were.

i find that its true, more often than not im distracted each day by a thousand tiny bits of minutia, trying to write, thinking about a phone call, my parking space or what that thing is floating around in my coffee.. but more importantly, a tiny parade of thoughts, concepts and conversations that are rolling around in the background are whats truely to blame, i am going to spend time each day with this exercise, i have to start brushing up anyway as april script frenzy will be starting in just a few days now, best to dust off the keyboard now.

I have decided to go ahead and attempt script frenzy, the november novel writing turned into quite a dibacle on my end. i made the goal but ended up writing for 3 different pieces, and overall got very little accomplished, accept of course the monumental accomplishment of writing 50k words in 30 days!
