I’ve been doing a mix of Morning Pages and LaVonne’s 2500 words/day challenge (#2500wds on Twitter) the past week. And frankly, I’m freaking myself out.
Things that have been plaguing me since I’ve been able to think abstractly are coming clear and how to un-stick myself from these old beliefs is pouring out of me.
And it’s scary. Really. I mean, it’s a good scary. If scary can be good. I guess you can call it more freaky than scary…
I didn’t realize that 2500 words in 45 minutes is some kind of feat (I timed myself, and several of my twitter friends seem to be in awe)… But to know that what pours out is my prescription? To read my words and realize how much I’ve been holding myself back? To know that all I have to do is remember who I am?
Freaky.
In my daily writings, I’ve written two words more often than any others.
Repetition and Remember.
I must remember who I am. And I must keep repeating this to myself so I don’t forget.
If I can get the hubster to suspend his distaste for tattoos for one minute, I may just get one.
“Remember” tattooed across the inside of my wrist.
Maybe.
P.S. Did I mention I’m chickenshit?

Wow. I’m so excited for you. Writing every day [without constraints like having to write WELL, lol] just seems to free the brain up, doesn’t it? My brain is still stuck, though, so I went over to http://www.750words.com to see if a smaller goal would help.
I think if I can stop EDITING while I type, that will start triggering the creative process. Did get a few blog posts out of it, though, and that’s a very good thing.
Good for you!
Keep at it. and don’t think too much or edit. Since I did this naturally when I was growing up, it’s not that hard not to edit. Just keep at it practice, practice practice! 
so glad you’re getting some insight from the writing. it’s amazing what reveals itself sometimes.
I’ve seen tattoos like that done in white ink. Looks nice and doesn’t stand out too much. But you’ll still remember.
I took a look at some white ink tattoos… some looked like scars and some just glowed. Definitely something to consider. Thanks, James!
