Missed a day

I missed a day.

I was so convinced that I'd written my daily post yesterday and was horrified to find out that I didn't.

It's interesting that 2 months, albeit not having written anything particular "good", was enough to make me feel pretty bummed out about breaking the streak. In fact, my brain was looking for all sort of excuses as soon I realised that I'd missed a day, for example:

• "I really wasn't feeling too great yesterday."
• "Maybe it's still October 9 somewhere in the world and I can make up for it!"
• "Two months wasn't too bad, maybe I should do it weekly instead."
• "The writing isn't that good anyway."
• "I could have more time to write longer-form content."
• "Maybe this isn't for me and I should just stop."

None of those is a good reason to stop, not least because I was just telling someone about the benefits of writing every day.

Am starting again. Today.
