@JournalChat Yes. It can be flowy and grumbling, but soon it turns into something more focused: what's the reason behind it.#journalchat

L love morning pages. Julia Cameron speaks of them as writing practice, journaling. A way of engaging our creative selves.#JournalChat

@Susanatspillers Do you mean #Journaling is more a deliberate reflection or detailed entry vs Morning Pages as flow?#JournalChat

Show Conversation

Susanatspillers3:23pm via Twubs

@JournalChat Sure does, Dawn. Plus I waited so long to go and see about it (I'm doctor-phobic) that the damage was done.#journalchat

@Write4LifeCoach I don't, Nathan. They can be sometimes but generally they're just stream-of-consciousness stuff.#journalchat

@madeline40 Journaling, to me, is more deliberate. Morning pages is just a kind of 'system flush' at the start of the day.#journalchat

@Susanatspillers @JournalChat What's the difference between morning pages and #journaling? #JournalChat

@JournalChat That's right. My thyroid - which affects just about everything in the body! - decided to go on strike... #journalchat

@Susanatspillers That's one thing I love about #Journaling; it's not biased or annoyed with the topic, joyful or miserable!#JournalChat

@JournalChat I'm in awe, Dawn. I don't journal every day - usually every other day - though I do write morning pages each day. #journalchat

@Brainmaker Sometimes journaling isn't pretty. My last entry was a complete diatribe on iffy technology... #journalchat

@JournalChat I considered just drawing circles and filling them in black all over the page. But writing words was easier.#journalchat

@StephenVanVugt That's exactly what I mean, Stephen; Susan is truly unique and hilarious with her approach. Refreshing!#JournalChat
