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!

[artemis10002000]

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.

[artemis10002000]

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...

[artemis10002000]

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 :)

[artemis10002000]

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.
