750wordsI've picked 750words up this month, after a long break. I'm enjoying maintaining the streak, but I don't feel any of the benefits from keeping up the habit or writing down words that the practice is recommended for.
I'm not getting the same feeling of inexplicable writer's block I posted about here a while ago; instead, it's more... irritation, that I'm writing down words with no meaning or purpose, simply so I can say 'I've maintained a streak for X days!', rather than feeling any of the benefits of writing itself. More and more often it feels like a waste of time, to be honest, especially when it takes me an hour of on-and-off writing to reach the goal and I wind up with a page of to-do lists and yelling in caps lock.
I suppose I should be thankful there is nothing bothering me so much that I have to rant about it at length any more, heh. I still feel like I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone else feel like this at times? Any suggestions?
