Post-a-day 29: Reflections
Goddamn. This month has been HARD. I thought that posting something every day would be easy, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Admittedly, i've had a very busy month and it has on times been difficult to actually find the time to sit down and post something, even if it's very little. However, the original challenge I set myself was to write something artful every day and I think it would be fair to say that I failed wholeheartedly on that score. I was planning a catch-up today so that I'd make it to 30 posts, but time just got away from me and I simply haven't got it in me. I guess one short of the mark isn't too bad.
I've found the discipline useful. Whilst it's been really frustrating at times I think it's been helpful to think about reflecting on what's going on in my life. I regret the number of memes I've succumbed to in order to fill the post-count and some of the drivel I've inadvertently imposed on the world. I just hope that some of it might make be glad or make me proud when I look back on it.
The most important thing I've learned is that if I write when the mood doesn't take me or when I find the subject matter dull, it frustrates me and makes me miserable. It's been a useful experiment, but I don't think I'll be taking on this particular challenge again.
