These techniques create structure and focus, ensuring the artist makes the most of their Morning Pages.
In addition to its structure, the pages of the Journal are also organized with special sections to track the artist’s ideas and inspirations. There are specific sections for creativity check-ins, record-keeping and monitoring, and ongoing projects. By tracking their ideas, artists can maintain momentum in their work and keep their ideas flowing.
The Artist’s Way Morning Pages Journal also comes with a card pack. This contains The Artist’s Way Process Cards, which help to further enhance the journaling experience. These cards contain exercises, festivals, process postings and quick creative tools, which can help refresh the artist’s perspective.
Finally, the journal is an aesthetically pleasing tome, with its creamy paper and gold foil cover. The experience of writing in the journal is truly special, due to the quality and texture of its pages.
