I Probably Write About 5K Words A Day
Everyday. Seven days a week. If someone wants to learn how to #write and write well, start a journal, or diary, or #blog and just hammer away at that shit w/ ideas, concepts, contradictions (lol), etc. and it will definitely make you a better #writer. I am not saying I could write a legit #book (at least not at the moment), but what I do write is fairly legible, I would say.
i wrote a good #longform tonight
took a little over an hour to #write it, i think. I lost track of time during the process, tbh. It is called “Rewilding For Repentance” and i created a Medium.com acct just for it (so i can share w/ family and friends w/o them having to view my entire blog/diary/journal/etc. It is a good story and i am v proud of it. Good times writing it. I am hoping it gets a lot of reads/shares, but i am much, Much, MUCH more interested in the feedback from the ppl i know than some share by/from some stranger on the WWW.
So i am sitting here and drinking coffee at 1:46AM (man, is it that late???) and going to get some shut-eye after the caffeine wears off (eventually) and be ready to go when 9:30 rolls around and i do some BIG grocery shopping before the sun starts to scorch everything alive. Gonna be great to be re-stocked on foodskee once again.
It is a pleasant night here. 75-ish degrees w/ the window open but the AC still turned on (bc mugginess) and just listening to the crickets chirp, chirp, chirping away. Very nice, indeed.
Be back in a bit!
4 hrs and 20 mins to go...
....until i go and get some (real) grub from the grocery store. It is Sunday so i do not expect the main road running between me and said store to be insane (at least not at 6 AM). idgaf what i buy, as long as it is nutritious/satisfying.
i got nothing else to #write about for the night either, i don't think. coffee wearing off.
peace for the night (morning)
it is STILL raining!
therefore, no laundry will be done today. perhaps tomorrow, but only after class. i will also attempt to make those appts that i need to make. Thursday i go to the hospital to see the dad. Friday, more class. yada yada.
also, i have been working on log.oleary.io and have made it into a text repository more or less. i am literally writing things straight into the HTML. lol! it is on Tumblr & i can still post but no one can see what i write unless they are viewing the blog through the Tumblr app, itself. the text repository is where i am listing the current projects i am working on (Newer System & (slowly) litebytes)
if you #write (do hashtags work on write.as?) then hmu on twitter (@olearyio) if interested in writing something for litebytes. idk if anyone will see this besides on read/write.as (& twitter), but, i am always looknig for a writer or writers for litebytes so i can have some content on there (about minimalism, of course) before the soft launch. can't focus on it much atm because classes are happening.
anyway, i am on my third cup of coffee & feel quite good.
be back in a bit!
