Starting each page with the date is surprisingly helpful, not just for keeping track of the writings. It’s a signal to begin, meaning I can start writing without inspiration. The pen is in motion, or the fingers clatter across the keyboard, and I’ve taken the first step and am ready for the next. When I do this every day, the mundane comes to life.
What is something you do that sets the ritual in motion so you are in tune to run free?
