Thanks, Sam. It’s funny that you mention putting yourself on the page. After letting it sit on my shelf for sixteen years, I started working with “The Artist’s Way” at the start of the new year. That book mentions something similar: showing up at the page.
Doing the work, day in and day out, and letting yourself be you, both are important.
After three years of mostly writing daily haiku, I’ve found that any subject is worthy of being put on the page. I think that might be one of the biggest takeaways I’ve gotten from this daily practice and writing form. It’s been very freeing.
