30 Posts In 30 Days – Day 13: The Streak

This is Day 13 of the 30 Posts In 30 Days Challenge I set for myself to start writing online. This post was originally published on X.

You mustn‘t break the streak.

You owe this to yourself.
You‘ve come too far to give up now.
You made a promise you have to keep.

You‘re the only one standing in your way.

You think you‘ve got nothing to say?

Think again. There‘s something on your mind right now.

Maybe it‘s the difficult conversation you had the other day.
Write it down.

Maybe it‘s the video game you‘d love to play right now.
Write it down.

Maybe it‘s next week‘s project you‘re worried about.
Write. It. Down.

You think this isn‘t for you?

You‘re a writer. Writing is what you do.

No one ever said that every piece you write has to „provide value“ or “go viral“.

How could you know what‘s objectively good anyway?

You don’t and you never will. You can only guess.

There is one rule and one rule only:

You have to keep writing. Every day.

Still think you don‘t know what to write about?

Change the game. Try to write the worst piece you’ve ever written.

Still think you’re going to make a fool out of yourself?

This is me, talking to myself. That’s as awkward as it gets.

This isn’t about them.

This is about you and the promise you’ve made to yourself.

This is about fighting Resistance with everything you have.

Speaking of „providing value“, huh? There‘s no value in this. It’s just a rant. A bunch of nonsense.

You’re probably thinking, when will he finally get to the point?

I won‘t. I‘m done for today. And I‘ll be back tomorrow.

Struggling, fighting, and ranting anew.

To write another piece.

To keep the streak going.
