Write Every Day For a Month, They Said

What I have done to myself?

Through sickness, Christmas and a poetry post, I wrote an article every day for the past month. It was not an easy thing to do. I had never used Medium before, let alone written an article.

I decided to write on Medium because I have a lot to say, especially about movies. I also wanted to improve my habit of writing in general. All my previous writing experience was involved with screenwriting or school assignments.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to succeed. Who even wants to hear what I have to say? There were so many reasons not to write.

But why not?

What’s the worst that could happen? (Burned at the stake maybe?)

I had the time. My internship at Pixar doesn’t start till Jan 13th. I just sold my first screenplay. I was in an in-between period, so perfect to start something new.

I had the ideas. I had been jotting down article ideas for weeks.

I had the desire. I want people to hear my thoughts and my stories. I felt like there was at least one person out there that would like to hear what I have to say.

So I did it.
