The journal stuff is also cool to see because it puts everything into a little capsule. Things I was thinking and things I was feeling. It was interesting going through all this content because at times it felt like a journal and at times it felt like it was an insight into my mind and what was going on at a time. There are a list and detailed ideas and concepts that were worth extracting and getting into their records for future examination. There were days when the creative juices were flowing, and I was almost doubling up on my word count totals. It was going back so that I could go forward that day.
If I had a “bad” day the day before the writing turned more into a rant and an exploration of the problem. The quality of the content seemed to range from a particular number of factors. I think that it was hard early on to get into a rhythm, so just the process of doing something made me count those as a win. It would help me build that habit and get it into my day.įinally, I did want to write more, and I thought I could use this to get that process going and maybe even generate some new ideas and thoughts. If I knew 6 am to 630am was just time for that. Naturally, a lot of my early documents started off with “I am tired” or the amazing “I am not hungry right now am I ok?”Īlso, I wanted to try to do it as close to the same time every day as possible. I wanted just to dump and not to worry about the content. At the risk of making it seem like a journal. I wanted to get my thoughts out of my head every morning. I had a few rules that I wanted to build this habit with, and one was I wanted to begin with a blank screen. A blank canvas can be uncomfortable and scary to start. The first few days were rather awkward getting going. What could I learn about how I see the world? Also, is this an activity worth keeping up. I wanted to see what could I learn about me. Today was the first time that I dug into these writings in detail. In honor of the 80th straight day of writing 750 words, it felt like it was time to go back and see.
There was something about writing that I always loved but could never get into a confident rhythm with it. A heard about a concept called morning pages a few months back, and it seemed like something worth a shot.
