The Good Patrons of 750 Words

A Note of Inspiration from Adriana Grant

10 cups

I am so impressed at those of you on 100, 365, even ten-day streaks. I’m in awe (and, admittedly, a bit of envy) of those who have succeeded in such crazy feats as writing for 416 or 844 days in a row. My longest streak was eighty-two days, and that was years ago. Since then my longest run is closer to nine days. I feel I am in very good company, fellow spillers of words. I joined this site on Tuesday, March 23, 2010, and have written 760,029 words and completed 815 days. And because I am so inspired reading the stats of others, I’ll report on a new feature I just found: “All-time stats: 1020 days since you joined. 939 daily pages started. 815 daily pages completed. You’ve participated in 92% of the days since joining. You’ve completed 80% of the days since joining.” As others have testified, I, too, like to spill my thoughts, worries, and obsessions, notes for ideas and projects to undertake, to-do lists and things that make me mad or sad, or simply, world-weary. This site, however, and knowing I’m in the company of many others tapping away, is inspiring. So look at your stats again, and, if, like me, you don’t have a super streak to brag about, consider the all-time stats of keeping on keeping on. Your own long-time percentages might just make your day.
