What Have I Learned So Far?

What have I learned after doing a little over a week of The Artist's Way? One thing I've learned is that keeping a daily journal, especially one that you have to write early in the morning, is tough. It's a grind, but even now I'm beginning to learn to love the grind. I can see how it would become part of your life after 12 weeks, but right now it can be tough. Every morning I've almost talked myself into putting my journal off until the night, but so far I've been able to drag myself out from under the covers, trundle downstairs, and put pen to paper. I still don't think I'd be able to write anything particularly creative early in the morning, but I can spout stream of consciousness stuff and that's all that needs to be done.
