Heidi Durrow
This is my chair. This is where I sit first thing in the morning and write my morning pages: three pages written long-hand and then 10 sentences of affirmations. I started this daily routine about 15 years ago after reading Julia Cameron’s The Artist Way. Often times the writing is simple journal writing, but sometimes there’s a little magic—I’ll find the right phrase or an idea for a scene or character. The essentials for this routine: my Heidi blue blankie, coffee in my favorite mug with bendy straw, my beloved Moleskine and a pen. This ritual really centers me. It is my own form of morning mediation. And it’s pretty cozy too.
Heidi Durrow is the author of the New York Times bestseller, The Girl Who Fell From the Sky (Algonquin Books), which won Barbara Kingsolver’s Bellwether Prize for Literature of Social Change.
