Writing every day for a month

A month ago I decided that I would start writing every day to get into the habit of shipping something everyday.

There were days I felt that I didn't have anything to write about at all, and I ended up getting creative with finding a better way to say that I didn't have much to say.

Anyhow, I'm going to keep going! Here is an unorganised brain dump about the experience so far:

• Shipping something is better than shipping nothing. There is literally nothing to lose if I ship something, even if it's a single sentence saying "I don't feel like writing anything today."
• When I first started, I fussed over a lot of what-ifs. "What if the topic isn't worth writing about?", "What if I'm wrong about something?", "What if I change my mind about what I have written later?", and so on. It took me a couple of weeks to condition my brain to not try to take an easy way out and realise that I can always just write another post about a "terrible" post I have written in the past.
• I was convinced that all of my posts have to take the same tone when I first started. I decided to experiment with a more casual tone after about three weeks and was able to get ideas down and publish quicker. It's not better or worse, just different. Will use different tones for different posts moving forward.
• I can only render text in posts at the time of writing; there have been a few times where I decided to not write about something because I couldn't include an image.
• Writing in the morning or in the afternoon is substantially better than making it the last thing I do for the day; the latter is sometimes a source of stress.
• I'm more aware about framing thoughts constructively; if I'm going to spend time thinking and writing about something, I might as well make "better" use of that time even when I'm writing about a negative experience or emotions.
• I probably need to have a small reserve of ready-to-publish posts to prepare for days when I really can't write.
