In the advent of more and more technology, Morning Pages remain the same: they need always be done by hand. Hand-writing puts us in touch with our emotions. We learn how we feel about what we say. Writing by computer is a more shallow practice. It yields us speed and distance, but not the depth that we are looking for. Velocity is more often our enemy than our friend.

Thank you Julia. I am in my 4th week of morning pages, and I have been falling behind but I do see how my brain speeds up and slows down to reach synchronicity with my hand and when they are in unison that is when the miracles happen.
I write my morning pages by hand.
Some months ago I have written them mechanically. Thought it made no difference at all. But really I was caught by “the velocity the words ran to the paper”. I write now again by hand and it makes a better connection with what lives within me.
I love love love… the morning page! For me they’re an ispiration source! Thanks and greetings from Italy.
I am just completing week 1 of the course but have been doing the morning pages for some time. My day takes off when they are completed. I love the quote: ‘writing is the way to make sense of your life’. They keep me grounded and serve as a form of meditation.
Thank you so much for everything you do. I’ve been writing Morning Pages since March 6, 2010 and they helped me a lot and a lot in finding my true self, in gaining inner peace, in discovering my real feelings. Thanking you wholeheartedly… please keep inspiring people.
I love morning pages. I’m quite addicted to them, even at those times when I really don’t want to do them or feel that I haven’t enough time to do them, if I just push through and do them anyway it clears the mind for a much better creative day. All the dross is gone, now I have gold to work with
