Number 53
Feb 24, 2017 · 2 min read
This will be my 53rd post in 100 Naked Words.
I hit 50! It’s become such a regular habit that the milestone came and went without notice.
I’ll be honest, though. I did miss one day. I wrote something, after I wrote a lot of other somethings, but then I deleted it at the last minute and didn’t post anything in its place. But one missed day out of 54 isn’t that bad, really. I won’t beat myself up about it.
Here are a few things I’ve learned since I’ve embarked on this daily writing journey:
- It gets easier the more I do it.
- I feel really weird if I wait until the last minute. It’s like an itch that I have to scratch. Even though I’m writing on other forums and for pay (Woot! It’s going to be a great year!), I still don’t feel quite right until I sit down and write at least 100 words for me. I use these words to write about whatever I feel like. Some days it’s good writing. Some days it’s crap writing (cringe). But I’m doing it because it makes me happy, and I deserve to be happy. So, take that, self-loathing.
- I’m capable of sticking with something. Most of the time I just choose not to. I should probably do something about that. Tomorrow.
- I’m learning what I like to write and what I’m good at writing. I like to write stories, but not necessarily fiction. At least not yet. Maybe some day.
- If I, the queen of giving up, can do it, then anyone can do it.
