The time it takes me to write 750 words non-stop is around 20 minutes. And 20 minutes is roughly considered a ‘flow’ state of creativity. So my advice is, if you’re not doing it already: write non-stop, don’t get distracted. See how you feel about it. Oh, and don’t stop at 750. If you have it in you, get it out. Have a break. Then go for 1,500. (It’s only taken me a few years to work this out. But hey, better late than never, right?) Thanks 750 words for all that you are.

I have been writing for 2007 days as of 12/29/2020. It’s been a great ride but now is time to move on. December 31, 2020 will close my writing here, but I will carry on on my own. Thank you Kelly and Buster for having this wonderful platform. Lots of Love Pam

Yesterday I broke my streak. For the second time since I started.. I wrote from 29.08.2017 – 27.12.2020 which are 1218 days. Over three years. I can’t even imagine things three years from now, should I reach that point again.
The first time I broke my streak after 435 days, because I was too stressed. This time I broke it because I was too relaxed. I started and simply forgot to continue.
It’s not as bad as last time. I wrote a lot of things I’m proud of in these 1218 days. It’s 2020, there could have been worse things this year happening to me than this. This just wounds my personal pride.
For a moment today I thought I could take a break. Start writing again on the 1st January instead of today, but I can’t. It’s such a integral part of my life by now, I don’t want to take a break. I’m not always motivated. Sometimes I write some stupid things ten minutes before midnight. But I write and I’m really glad I do. So hopefully here’s to another 1218 days or even more!
