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
Wednesday, August 28, 2002
It is 10:30 pm.
- who impressed me the most today? My daughter. Today's her 15th birthday and she's survived my weird art-inspired mothering.
- what did I do all day? Started organizing the kitchen "from the inside out". Julie Morgenstern has changed my life with Organizing From the Inside Out. I knew this was the organizing book for me when she said, "If you are consantly searching for the perfect organizing solution, be assured that none exists." Dealing with this book made me admit that I have issues with stuff. That's a good thing and a bad thing. good: I make collage/assemblege art - bad: I think I have to find a use for every single thing. Anyway, the kitchen is a big time crazy mess so it'll be years before it's officially useful. When we moved here there were no cabinets!
Anyway, I got a lot of work done on the memoir pieces. Eight of the twelve have been stitched into their accordion forms. I took some digital pictures but I can't get anything to look right. I guess I'm going to have to just start putting bad pictures up until someone offers to help me out.
- when did I finally leave the house today? 5:45 pm
- where did I go today? As usual I dropped J off at school. She wanted to eat at Shogun's so we went there ate way too much then because we'd eaten too much we went to my sister's and had Baskin Robbin's chocolate chip ice cream cake. Between the two we took a family walk around her block - like that helped!
- why didn't I get more done today? 15 years ago today I had a 7 pound 2 ounce baby so I feel like I could rest some today. Actually, I'm happy with the amount of work I got done today. I do wish some of the time I spent playing with this blog would have V-aligned the image to the top instead of the center but there must be some < or / or "" that I'm not putting in the right place.
- how could I have been more productive? I could have not started fooling with the kitchen. I don't have the time, energy or inclination to really attach that project. And now my coffee pot is unplugged and out of place so getting coffee in the morning will entail some drama.
