It also reflects to that writer, what he/she did not do. Analysing further, one finds out why one could not/ did not do it differently. All in all, it makes sense, the writer changes the direction, slows down a lot, takes more stops to reach the destination. Even the destination could be different. This is just one powerful bright light at a baseball game.

This is a good day to dig through my box of high school mementos, with scanner and notepad at hand. Thanks for all your meaty content. Anyone, veteran memoirist or beginner will find inspiration here. After a whole week of being buried under more than two feet of snow, your suggestions are spot on!

Much neater than the small spirals I used to use, and more organized than the stash of index cards that came before the spirals. What next? ;-) Since a friend gifted me with a tiny moleskine, I’ve also become a fan.

Not always three pages (sometimes less, often more) and not every single day, but most days. Starting with only a twelve-week commitment to try it was what got me going. I needed the commitment, and that was the longest I could fathom making it for. It was enough. I'm hooked. Spiritual memoir underway. I’m hooked on Morning Pages for this purpose.
