I cracked open a new Morning Pages notebook today.
I'd been saving this one for when I reach a particular milestone in my writing work, but I woke up realizing that my mindset contributes to elevating that milestone to a level of preciousness I might decide I can't touch. Something I deny myself because I don't deserve it, or because reaching it means I have to let it go.
But guess what. This is just a notebook I like. I will use it now.
And the milestone? It's just one in the long line of career markers I've already passed. It is just one in the long line of future goals I'll meet and love and move on from as I travel my long writer's-life road. I will stop holding the bloody thing so close to the bone now.
