I've been doing them for nearly two years now and don't want to live without them, they've become such a part of my morning routine. They help me loads in both getting my life and mind into a better order, and in making it easier to write a lot.
I read "The Artist's Way" and worked through it a couple of years ago, that's what got me started on the morning pages. I simply loved it - in fact, in the stage of my life then, it both helped me in my writing and pretty much saved my mental health. It's hard to say whether everyone will find it equally useful, it probably depends on who you are and what's going on in your life at the moment. But the exercises are in any case helpful in exploring your creativity, and I don't know anyone who didn't like it. I also liked her "The Right to Write", lots of exercises and encouraging talk about writing.
