An often asked question about the Morning Pages practice, as outlined in The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron: how on earth do you always find precisely 3 pages worth of stuff to write about?!
You need to look at it as meditation tho. When someone says “I meditate for 15 minutes every day”, you wouldn’t ask “but how on earth do you always find precisely 15 minutes worth of stuff to think about”?
You just sit down, you dedicate the time (or page number), you start to observe what crosses your mind, and when your time is up (or your pages are full), you stop. That’s it.

- I practice morning pages on and off, however never in the morning. My days start early enough. :)
- In this year, 2026, I started to call them Daily Braindump Pages, while earlier I used to write Afternoon Pages / Evening Pages, depending on the time of the day.
- I write 3 A5 pages. Now, I write in a notebook, earlier I used to write on A4 pages, folded like a Jane Austen letter and kept in a cardboard box somewhere. Before that, notebooks again, for a while, mixed up with my bullet journal entries.
