The Good Patrons of 750 Words

1 cup

750 Words got me started writing a couple of years ago after I’d read some great books on creativity. (Elizabeth Gilbert, Questlove, and Julia Cameron.) And, because I needed a way to turn the corner with some of my healing and recovery.

My inspiration to really get writing was Julia Cameron and her practice of morning pages. I’ve kept up with that practice and have also attempted to write about some life experiences, which is more of a challenge for me. I write better when I think there’s no audience. But isn’t there always an audience? I think so, even if the audience is me.

More recently, I’ve been writing longhand in my favorite decomposition notebooks but I do appreciate this option of writing online, saving it all in one location, and finding inspiration in a community of writers. I’ve subscribed again and with our collective COVID-19 experience, I thought I might document some of mine. I’ll write about other things too. Thankfully, there is more to life than our current challenge. There has to be.

Writing is such a great way to process life and tell our stories. I look forward to digging in again.
