They saved my sanity many times - through divorce, publishing, a move to a new country. But mostly they just saved my sanity daily. I love them. Interestingly, about three or four months ago, I finally got kind of tired of them. For over ten years, I did 3 pages EVERY day, now I often write two pages. Or even one. Or sometimes none. It's good though. I'm glad I did them the way she says for so long too because when I did get tired of them it was kind of like I have enough experience to know which days I need to push through to 3 pages now and which days I'm just boring myself and should get on with my day!
