Doing It Wrong

[gb]

I'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?

Yeah, I have definitely gotten to the point where I'm writing for the sake of my streak, and I don't think that's what I want out of the site. There was an error with the mobile website lately that broke my streak, and even though I did ask for it to get repaired, it's still being buggy. I think I might just, you know, leave it broken.

I'm sorry to hear the website bugged out on you! D:

If you're not getting what you want out of the site there's not much point continuing, I agree. That was the rationale behind me stopping last time and I don't regret it.
