i was lucky enough to get in on https://writingstreak.io/ early, and i'm finally pushing myself to use it. today is the second day.
this is terrifying for me – i burned out of my friends' write club *hard* – but i'm hoping that writing in five-minute, 100-word bursts, with no real chance for revision, will at least work my atrophied writing muscle and encourage more abandon and less anxiety.
deep breaths.
this excerpt being inspired directly by some nationalist doc about canada in WWI i just finished watching, anyway.
you can follow my numbers here: https://writingstreak.io/@nicknicknicknick
the iframe of the latter still doesn't embed properly in my own website, what even gives.
more writing during a five-minute work break. i think for the next little while i'm going to just hit the "random wiki" button on wikipedia and take the result as a prompt.

not great, not terrible. just continuing.
