I’m sure you’ve heard about morning pages, but have you heard about Medium Pages?

Morning pages, made famous by Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way, are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing. They are seen as essential to harnessing your most creative self. Morning pages spiritually clean out your closet, remove those nagging spider webs, and wipe the shit off your proverbial shoes.

Julia Cameron calls them “The bedrock tool of a creative recovery.”

Let’s face it, creative people are always in recovery. Recovery from the world that we act out through our creations. I love morning pages. They’re awesome, but they’re only the beginning.

What do you do after you’ve accomplished step one, cleaned up your muddy mind, and you’re ready for creative action? Where to now? Where’s the party?

I say, let Medium be your part two!

PART TWO

  1. Refill your coffee
  2. Open your Medium
