It’s NotesOnDawn, and this week's Artist's Way challenge was the one I dreaded most: a total media purge. No TV, no social media... and no books. As a book lover, I was terrified. But my biggest struggle wasn't what I expected. It was "horrible... thinking about just having to eat dinner and like do nothing". This is the story of my "iPad kid" confession and the surprising spiritual breakthrough I found in the silence.

Hello, it's NotesOnDawn! I've started The Artist's Way, and this post is my diary of Week One. I'm talking about my new "late spring morning routine" and the scary, liberating new ritual of "morning pages" and how it’s so different from journaling. I'm also sharing my first "Artist Date" to the reservoir and, for my fellow 'AllAboutBooks' lovers, a full "what I read in march" book review special.
