The Good Patrons of 750 Words

6 cups

I’m celebrating receiving my Phoenix badge tonight. Whoo Hoo!!! I can’t tell you how tickled I was to see the new badge after I wrote tonight. Whee!

Way back a few months ago (like 101 days to be exact), I had a trip to the emergency room for an asthma attack and missed writing my 750 Words after maintaining an 83 day writing streak. It broke my heart. Since then, I’ve been kicking myself about it even though really it wasn’t anything I could have helped. Stuff happens, after all.

Yet, as I neared 100 this past couple weeks, for some reason I can’t explain, I found myself dragging when it’s come to writing my words.

This note is to help remind anyone at that kind of point to just keep putting one word after another. They don’t need to be brilliant… not every day is a gold letter one. But each day is one more closer to the end of the month, to the next goal, and badge. And when you get there? THAT feels pretty darn good.

Thanks for such a great site, buster!!
