I learned something different from writing 750 words for a year.

I grew to despise the need to do this exercise daily as I slowly realized that I would not get any meaningful improvement in my writing. I would not be Hemingway. My brain was too set in its ways.

One night as I was working on my masters I forgot to log in 750words before midnight. At first I felt sadness, but in the following days and ever since all I've felt has been relief.

I guess some people are just better readers than writers.
