I received an achievement from Word Press, the site that hosts my website. The achievement was for posting three days straight, this must be a new thing because I’ve certainly had a three day streak before. Regardless, it’s a welcome addition by giving me some sort of goal on writing. I started writing daily around 2019 for personal health and after so long I ask myself why continue. The same problem exists for physical exercise, after years of health it seems like health happens naturally. Only after we stop and decay has happened are the problems noticeable, and sometimes no longer fixable. The specifics of the goal don’t matter to me, only that there is something to chase and keep distracted from questioning myself. Writing when I feel like is fine for me, but now I want to see how high the number can go and what effects it might have. On Sundays I’ve rested, as sabbath means rest and now I’ll have to figure out something to post on Sunday to keep the streak possibly going over a week. Maybe I’ll try some poetry or creative writing on Sunday, it could be a continuation of my novel. Along with trying to get my work in order, I set up my blog to post automatically onto substack and that reminds me that I’ll need to get X and Threads set up to cover all bases; in time. Setting things up for the first time takes significant energy, then most things I’m able to anonymize.
