Writing Challenge Day 30: Write About What do You Feel When You Write

That title is flipping awful! It’s making my spidey grammar sense all uneasy, but that’s what the creator of the challenge said, so here we are.

I am incredibly proud of myself for having blogged every day for the month of April. I didn’t know if I would be disciplined enough. I was concerned it would become a burden and potentially get me down. And despite not having been in the best mental health this month, I’m not sure the writing challenge has exacerbated that. And my mentals are steadily improving again.

Usually when I write it helps me process whatever is on my mind. It releases stress. However, just writing each day because I’m completing a challenge is different. It has forced me to find an angle on subjects I probably wouldn’t normally have tackled, so I guess that is positive. But there have been days it’s felt a bit of a chore. Like homework. Regardless of how interesting the subject it’s still taking time away from more relaxing or pleasurable pursuits.

So aside from the accomplishment of completing the challenge, how do I feel now? Kind of relieved. I can go back to blogging when the inspiration comes, rather than trying to create inspiration daily. Being that disciplined wasn’t a bad thing, but there were occasions when I would have blogged about what’s happening in my life currently, but the thought of writing twice in a day was just too much. I’m definitely not planning to continue blogging daily, at least not for the time being. But never say never.

Maybe daily bicep curls in May 💪🏻
