Morning Pages | 5 May 2026

That’s this year’s calves in the field next door.

The Pink Glitz ink didn’t run out, so after this morning’s writing, I cleaned the pen out and refilled it. Look for a new colour tomorrow. I can’t wait!

I didn’t get up the Hill of Beans today, for reasons which I discuss in my writing. It’s so annoying. But I did get halfway through the 30-page chapter analysis and got to work outside as well, so it’s been a good day in that regard. Same again tomorrow and with NO APPOINTMENTS!
