80 Days x 1000 Words
MILESTONE ALERT! ❤ On December 28 I decided to start a self-directed personal writing practice. My goal was to write 1,000 words on average per day, with my end point being 80 days. Today is day 80!
Of the 80 days I did not write 11 of those days, mostly due to anticipated things but sometimes just because of life.
In total, I wrote 80,076 words.
On average, I wrote 1,001 words a day. Given that my goal was 1,000 on average per day, I really just squeaked by there!
Rather amazingly, with the completion of today's essay, which was part of a multiday storytelling series, I feel like I arrived at a natural end point for writing.
I have not at any point during these 80 days looked back on what I have written so now I want to look back and evaluate and see what, if anything, is next for this material.
What a beautiful gift this process has been. I have learned a lot about myself (and the negative narrative I have always carried about my memory). I am so grateful for my dear friend Casey Brown for inspiring me to do this!
