Artist's Way

I've never read Artist's Way, just know of the basic technique of making my life more free and creative.   The first technique is to write down three hand-written pages of whatever pops into your mind first thing in the morning, morning pages.  Sometime I just write when frustrated or drunk, just dumping all thoughts, feelings, to do lists on a napkin just to get that pack of junk off my back.  Sometime pray to God to take the junk or thank Jesus for taking on all the junk.  That's what most of those dumpings and rants are.  I'm mad at someone or something, tainted fish for example, or bad gossip and I know what I should do, forgive and move on, decide to take action or take a stand or at least let my opionion on the matter come out somewhere or just let it go.   I say something really bothers me and is really wrong, but not doing anything to help solve the problem just is frustrating.   I do have enough problems of my own, but nowhere near the ones that are truely wrong and evil: human slavery, civil war conditions, esp for women and children in places like the Congo or Somalia.   For now, just dump and pray.
