Interesting exercise. I learned I really can't write fast enough to keep up with my thoughts. I'm faster at typing, but typing also tempts me to edit as I go, so this activity really was different. I only hope I can read my stream of consciousness scribbles when I get time to transcribe and interpret what I wrote.

I love that finding, Maryann! I have to go a lot slower when I am handwriting. I find it's both helpful and frustrating :) Haha

Oh, and you did warn my hand would cramp!

I love this exercise and can’t wait to try it out! I feel like I’ve lost the ability to speak/write critically and coherently about books in particular over the past year or so and this feels like such a good place to begin re-learning that.

Yay! I'm glad this feels like a meaningful exercise. Maybe sparking some remembering around why you're reading and what you believe it does for you might help you start to engage more critically again! Let me know how it goes....!

I loved this exercise. 30 years of being ‘a reader’ and this was the first time I stopped to think about where that came from and what that means to me. Excited for the series!
