Can we take a straw poll? How many of us take Julia Cameron's advice and write daily pages? If you do, do you find the effort worthwhile?
For those who aren't familiar, the idea, roughly, is to write for a fixed period/set number of pages (can't remember which) non-stop. You write anything and everything that comes to your mind with a view to off-loading stuff that's bothering you or just to see what comes to the surface. If you off-load something troubling you it will clear the way for a more productive day...get the idea?
The discipline of facing the paper or screen every day is a good one but do we do it or do we wait for the muse?
