What Are Nightly Notes?
- They're the opposite of Morning Pages.
- So they're written at night instead of first thing in the morning.
- They are typed instead of handwritten,
- They're public instead of private,
- They're guided by questions instead of flowing freely
- A completed entry consists of six questions and six answers instead of three pages
- Since they are public others are allowed to comment on them
For an interesting variation on daily writing see 100 words.
"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in
the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy
of canonization."
Harriet Beecher Stowe as quoted by Angeles Arrien
in Signs of Life page 63

Tonight's Questions and Answers
Tuesday, August 27, 2002
It is 10:21 pm. By default I'm going to answer last night's questions again. Originally, I thought I'd ask different questions every night but I think I'll do at least a week of the same questions.
- who impressed me the most today? Angeles Arrien. She's an anthropologist who has written one of my favorite books, The Four Fold Way. About a month ago I brought her book, The Nine Muses: A Mythological Path to Creativity. Two weeks ago I got another of her books, The Tarot Handbook and then today I got Signs of Life: The Five Universal Shapes and How To Use Them. While reading acknowledgements I was impressed with the number of people she thanked and I'm always impressed by the sheer dedication it takes to write a book.
- what did I do all day? I made decisions about a health care advance directive. I added 1266 words to the "shitty first draft" of my novel. I went for the first of many walks with my partner and M.A.G. That's the first walk I've had since I was in Murray in early June!! I made a few major decisions about the piece I'm currently working on. It's a twelve part fabric-based mixed media memoir in accordion book format. I co-babysat my niece with my daughter.
- when did I finally leave the house today? about 4:45 again.
- where did I go today? Dropped J off at school, took FB to get his car from the shop, walked to D's to visit then walked back
- why didn't I get more done today? I had planned to write more and there was one other very important item on my to-do list that didn't get finished but I still think I did about all I could do - I'm multipurpose not super.
- how could I have been more productive? I could have only planned to do 2-3 things instead of my normal 5+
