The Good Patrons of 750 Words

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how liberating this way of writing is. I’ve been here about 4 months now. I’ve unearthed new depths of honesty with myself, about the way I feel, and about what I truly want. I love data, so getting to see things like how many words I’ve written, where my mind is at, what my thematic key words are- it all gives me an insight that doesn’t come when I do my annual reading of all my journal entries for the year. Plus being able to tag my writing and then do keyword searches has helped me learn how my thoughts have changed over time; likewise I might think I’ve been stuck on something but then a search tells me how much movement there has been. This writing practice has been a great anchor for me, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.
