write your adventures down

Just read this article about writing as spiritual practice.

Quite interesting. Thanks for twittering it, Rachel.

It reminds me of a class I had for gender studies Honours where we were workshopping writer's block and how to cope with it. We had all experienced the blank page and the fear of the unwritten words. But our teacher made us sit in class and write down anything and everything pertaining to writer's block, and there was not a single blank page in that room. :)

I particularly like this line:

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that writing is an adventure. And then it turns into a chore.

This is the year I stop doubting my ability to write and start enjoying the adventures of writing. :)
