On day 3 and 4 I each only managed to scramble out the bare minimum 100 words right before going to bed (better than on day 2 when I didn't even touch any of my writing files)

So I haven't made any actual progress on the story since I just wrote whatever quick filler words I could cobble together but oh well. Keeping the flow going

Hey, words are words!

That's true!

My experience is any writing is better than none (and none sometimes... happens anyway) because it can get habit forming either way.

Yeah, that is true. It's why I try to keep the habit, even when I know my words are gonna get scrapped later one.

In my course last session, someone quoted Ray Bradbury: "Write a short story every week. All fifty-two of them can't be horrible." He may be over-optimistic, but I am going to try to do that even if they are just ficlets...

That's a very good way of thinking about it, I will try to take his advice to heart!

It's something. Even if it's just not to have the excuse that the streak is already broken :)

That's true, and it's why I try to avoid not doing anything at all. I know once I quit my streak I will find it very hard to pick it up again.
