As I was getting ready for bed after a long day of work, I realized I forgot to publish my daily draft.
I had the idea; I knew what I would write about, but forgot to write it down.
Part of the reason was that I was finishing my final article for the small LinkedIn project and lost track of time, so I needed to get to work.
But then I thought: I was already writing yesterday, and I did publish something…
So even though I didn’t publish my daily draft yesterday, at least I published something.
In other words, my streak isn’t broken, right?
Well, my streak has always been about publishing something every day, and as long as I do that, I couldn’t care less if WordPress congratulates me for my ongoing streak.
Still, I already knew what I would write about yesterday, so I went ahead and wrote it and published it for yesterday’s daily draft.
And now, this will be today’s daily draft.
Regardless, the fact that I remembered this and did something about it instead of ignoring it is a good sign that I’m beginning to change.
I didn’t see myself as a writer three months ago, but it’s hard to argue that I’m not after writing every day and jotting down my observations.
In fact, every day I look for things to write about: my conversations, my observations, my walks, everything.
The writing system I created for myself is finally working.
That means progress is finally presenting itself.
Good.
I’m finally on the starting line.
Here’s my quote for the day.
The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
Samuel Johnson
