The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal: A Companion Volume to the Artist's Way

I know it might seem silly to buy an empty notebook as you go through the Artist Way but for some reason writing my morning pages came much easier to me than when I tried this before. Part of what I think helps is having the dedicated place for the start as well as helpful quotes and instuctions scattered through the journal. The price is not much more than what you would pay for a plain notebook and this makes the path seem more official and has kept me going for six weeks now straight.

I have over six of these morning pages journals. The paper stock is nice and thick. My pen's ink does not bleed over onto the opposite side. The journal is letter sized (8.5 x 11 inches) which is the perfect size, the goldylock's of journal sizes, to record my morning pages. Each page has neat lines to write in and a quote from Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way book. It is set up for 12 weeks (seven days with three pages for each day) with an introduction to each week to keep me inspired and motivated. Even though it's been several years since I read the original Artist's Way, I still believe in morning pages and this is the only journal I write them in.

This is the best thing ever.It pairs with the book, The Artist’s Way. An incredible book. But the book is nothing without journaling. Journaling and the artist date are the 2 big commitments you need to make to get the full effect out of the book.Anyway, I swear by this journal. I’ve already bought my second one. It really keeps you on track. High quality. Quotes from the book every page. Most importantly it keeps you on track. It’s much much easier than just buying a blank journal and writing in it. Highly recommend!

The pages are nice weight but I wish the book was spiral bound so it would have been easier to write on the pages

This is my second order of The Morning Pages. I processed through The Artist's Way, the companion book to The Morning Pages, beginning in April of last year and it has become a regular part of my morning routine. I plan to continue to cycle through The Artists Way, as I have made many positive advancements after going through this the first time, such as learning piano in my 50s, and becoming much more physically active. Do you need the companion Morning Pages book? No, you could use a notebook, but I find that the overviews of each week are very helpful along with the quotes. I also like the size, it compels me to write more than I would if I use the smaller notebook. If you can afford only one, buy The Artists Way book.

This book is very helpful if you do the Artist's way morning pages. In fact, if you are not doing this, I'm not sure what else you would use this book for.I gave it a 4 only because the number of pages for each week were off and it was an awkward book to write in. Other than that it was great.GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THE AUTHOR INTENDED FOR 3 PAGES OF WRITINGWhen you do the Artist's way journaling, it states you should do 3 pages of writing per day. This book gives you a sense of what the author meant as 3 pages. By the way 3 pages this size took me not the 15-30 minutes the author implied, but more like 45 minutes to 1 hour. It could also be the morning grogginess too.I get up at 5:15AM to do these.NOT ENOUGH PAGES FOR EACH WEEK PLUS A CHECK-IN:As this book is by the same author that did the Artist way 12-week program, I am surprised that the number of pages provided did not meet the authors requirement. Per week you should have at least 21 pages and then 1-2 pages for a weekly check in. I found that I often wrote into the following week though I never wrote over 3 pages/day nor more than a 1 page per check in. 23 pages per week should be what the author provided as a minimum.BOUND-BACK MADE IT AWKWARD TO WRITE AT TIMES:This book would be better as a spiral bound book, so that you could fold back the areas you did not need. At times in the AM, it was all I could do to write much less trying to hold the book open.INSPIRATIONAL SAYINGS EACH DAY PERTAINING TO THAT WEEK WAS NICE:The author paraphrazed the Artist's way book providing page numbers as well, each day. That was nice. It often helped to get my writing jumpstarted.SUGGESTION TO THE AUTHOR:As you recommend to your readers to continue the morning pages a follow on set of books would be handy with the same type of inspirational phrases each day. Buying this book again with the unmatched set of pages and difficulty to hold open, does not appeal to me.This program is a good one and I plan to continue the morning pages. It is a very useful thinking practice.

I should’ve had the journal many years ago to go along with her book. But I’m really enjoying it and I will follow through with her instructions for the use of the journal. Very very nice.
