After jumping around through the digital version of this book, I have decided I like Reeves's approach. I'm going to buy myself a physical copy of the book and a couple of notebooks (okay, so I don't need more notebooks, nor do I need more excuses to buy notebooks, but I'm going to buy some anyway) and try to make 2023 the year that I reestablish a daily writing practice. I did Morning Pages for years, but I like the focus of daily prompts.

SomedayAlmost Good for you! 1y
ImperfectCJ @SomedayAlmost Thanks! I'm trying to convince myself that the practice and the act of creation are worthwhile endeavors even if nothing ever evolves into something published. I used to believe this but lost sight of it over the years, and now I'm trying to reclaim it. 1y

AKA places that are currently out of bounds 😥
I've been setting up a foldable chair and table under a parasol in the garden whenever the weather permits. Lest you think I am living in a tropical paradise, it is sunny here but I'm still glad of a fleece. It's just that I've been known to get sunburnt even when the sky is overcast!

charl08 I like this noise generator, sometimes pretending I'm in a cafe with background noise works for me! https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/cafeRestaurantNoiseGenerator.php 4y

Thanks for the birthday wishes and 📖 book plates. My birthday was nice, but uneventful due to the present circumstances here in New Jersey. NJ has a lot of COVID-19 cases, the majority of which are in the northern part of the state near New York City. But the virus is making larger inroads into the south-central part of the state where I am. My mom and I are OK. We'll go on a short trip when all this is over.

runswithscissors007 uneventful sounds just about perfect all things considered! Take care!

When I need a good kick in the pants, I reach for these books. They provide different types of inspiration, but I use them to focus and keep moving forward.
