Our 12-week workbook begins Sunday, February 1.
Things you can do to prep:
> Get ahold of a copy of the book. Buy, borrow or steal.
> Read the book, without doing the exercises. Just to familiarize with the premise, content, style.
> Plan for your morning pages. You will be writing every morning, so prepare for a space, time, and place to do so. This can be buying a journal, some special paper/folder, or even (blasphemy!) preparing a blog location to write your morning pages. (Blogging not recommended for the following reasons: the book requests handwritten pages, the book requests you not read your morning pages until months later).
> Emotional courage. As the beginning date approaches, I find myself wavering in my convictions. Perhaps you have similar negative/positive thoughts: this is ridiculous... i don't need this... i have too many other things to do... i don't want to bother doing this... So, silence the voices in your head, and prepare yourself to follow through on your original plan!
> Keep good company! Once again, take the time to invite a friend, fellow triber, or others who might later Bop! you in the head for not inviting them before this started. We all know creative people, why not reach out and at least offer them a link to this tribe, see if they want to participate in the 12-week workbook!

Re: Prepping
Wed, January 28, 2004 - 7:06 AMThank you!!! You're right, it takes courage to follow through with a committment. I'm here. I've got the book. I've read it and followed the course, but it's been so long, I've forgotten how to celebrate my inner artist. Looking forward to getting started again!
