Writing everyday has its perks!

I have written 16 posts in the last 16 days and it has really started to grow on me. It becomes almost like an addiction. There were days I'd normally never even consider writing a post, and there have been a few in the last 16 days. But I have set myself a goal to write everyday for a month, or at least die trying LOL! (P.S. : Not literally, don't hold me accountable to it please).

And the more I write everyday, the easier it becomes to keep going. It's strange. It's not like I don't have thought blocks, because I do. But the state of mind I find myself in, I feel I can come up with a post no matter what I am writing on. Previously this is something I'd struggle a lot with. There used to be ideas in my head, but I just couldn't get the confidence to put enough words to the idea to turn it into a post. That's the biggest change that writing everyday has brought about in me. So once the thought block fades, the words fill the blank canvas pretty smoothly.

I don't know if this is a phase or what, I have felt I just needed to start moving my fingers on the keyboards with at least a vague idea of what I am going to write on. Most of the posts I have written in the last 16 days, (17 if you include this one) I had no idea how I wanted the post to end or which direction I wanted it to go. I just had a very vague idea of what I wanted to start writing on and that's about it.

It's not necessarily about writing everyday, but writing regularly. And for quite some time I have written regularly. I have started a fiction series and just posted the 4th part yesterday. The funny thing is, when I started writing the first one, or even after I finished writing the first one I had no clue it was going to turn into a series. That's what I mean, I have no idea where I wanted the posts to go, it's like my fingers are dictating the direction.

This is really good place to be at and I am going to enjoy while it lasts. You know what they say, Form is temporary, class is permanent. For a change, here the "form is temporary" part is more important. I completely understand that I may not be able to keep doing this indefinitely.

But as long as the fingers move, you gotta enjoy the ride 😉
