Some thoughts on writing daily

Tomorrow marks a month of this daily writing practice. I've missed just a single day out of poor planning and forgetfulness.

I'm pretty happy that I've managed to stick with the habit this far. But I've definitely reached a point where it's getting more difficult to sit down and write what feels like absolute rubbish.

I keep telling myself it is about the process. But a part of the process I anticipated was getting to this stage of frustration where I struggled to find inspiration and things to write about.

My perfectionist tendencies also make the fact that these blog posts are so public hard to tolerate - another part of this experiment that I expected I would struggle with. But it's also an essential part insofar as there is some accountability, not just because others might read it, but because there is a dated record of this habit.

Tomorrow will be a good time to review my process and reflect on what I've learned and consider how I might approach this moving forward.
