Yesterday, I got a 2 million word badge and today I got my 2000 day badge: The Great Griffin. That represents a lot of complaining and clearing my head before getting started. And sure, it involves some vacation days and cheating. But I am forever grateful for the habit of 750 Words and the $$ it has saved me in therapy. Every day, if you show up and do the words, you add to your numbers. That’s the only trick. Seat of the pants to seat of the chair. Best of luck to my fellow writers and thanks to Buster and Kelianne for this great site.

750 words seems just enough to sort through my thoughts to then move forward with what I want to be doing in the day. This site has helped me tremendously. :)

I use all my cups, because I’ve lost them all. Since January 2018 I’d only missed one full day of writing— the day my Dad died. Until October 12, 2020. I don’t know if it was the trip and scheduled time off, or that we were off schedule a bit, but somehow I managed to go to bed and didn’t even remember I had not written. That has never happened. My streak came to an end and I didn’t even know it until the next day and there wasn’t an X in the box. Here I am, starting over again. The silver lining of this? I no longer have a precise day count since the day my Dad died. My streak was the count of how many days I’ve lived without him. It is freeing really, to not really know how long of forever it’s been since I heard his voice, since that last day. It’s okay and I’ve paid my $10 and will forgo my treat. I’ll spend November getting my name off the Wall of Shame and I’ll start to earn my cups again.
