I have been writing Morning Pages, somewhat consistently (I usually miss the days on the weekends), for about 2 years. I find it helpful in planning out my day and prioritizing my "to do" list. I also sometimes come up with some real nuggets during my free form writing that I use to create something else (a poem or a short story).
I've been writing Morning Pages, more-or-less faithfully, for about three months. I've found that it is a wonderful tool to get into the habit of daily writing, with a couple of caveats. (1) It's a bit too easy for me to see it as all the writing I could possibly find time to do on a given day, so I have to make sure that I schedule other writing time and (2) as a bit of a perfectionist, I thought I should get the big old college-ruled notebook, so I'd write and write - and write some more - but I've just recently switched to something smaller and for me, more user friendly. It's the habit, not the quantity, and I guess if you're on a roll, you could write more than three pages once in a while. I do find it helpful and will stick with it for November, and beyond.
