The Good Patrons of 750 Words

So I messed up my 83 day streak on Saturday, February 25th. Totally spaced on doing my words on time – kept putting it off during the day. I have been angry at myself and avoiding writing here since then. I realized that this is something I typically do – get so focused on stats and doing something right or the way it “should” be that I neglect the larger goal and sabotage myself. I really want to take a stab at NaNoWriMo this year and I want to start writing those songs I’ve been saying I think I can write for the last 3-4 years. In order to do that, I need to be disciplined enough to write every day. But it doesn’t have to be within a certain time frame, nor a certain speed, nor do I have to compare myself to others. So I am back here, donating the amount I said I’d donate if I messed up the February challenge. And I’m re-committing to writing every day – regardless of what my stats say.
